Figure of a squatting baboon resting on a dome-shaped base. The headdress is missing. The final part of the mantle forms a V on the front. The baboon is seated with the legs bent in front of him, the front paws placed on the knees. The tail is curled along the right side. The figure rests on a square base, which stands on a dome-shaped base. The base is filled with a white, inorganic material of modern origin, and a tenon protrudes from it. The tenon is square and looks bifurcated at the tip. The object is made in the lost-wax technique for solid casts.
