Male Figurine
Staraya Ladoga
10th century
Yew
H 27 cm
On the bearded face with its straight nose, the eyes are indicated by
circles while a single straight line represents the mouth. A headdress
or helmet is pulled down low over the forehead. The figure widens
out into a cone shape which probably represents a pleated skirt. At
the bottom of the figure is a cylindrical form, perhaps part of a leg.
