Figure of a squatting baboon. He is wearing a headdress composed of a moon disc with the incised figure of a uraeus. The mantle is decorated with dots on the front and with a feather-pattern at the back. The baboon is seated with the legs bent in front of him, the front paws placed on the knees. There is a suspension loop between the legs. The tail is curled along the right side. The figure rests on a base. A modern brass pin is inserted under the base. The object is made in the lost-wax technique for solid casts.
