Standing at an impressive height of 51 cm, this relic is made from brass, copper, and iron, exuding a sense of ancient mystique. The figure's unique design features four quadrants with a triangular crescent eye and a concave oval face. Its stylized eyes draw you in, evoking curiosity about its purpose and significance within ritualistic practices. The central brass cross adds to its ceremonial allure.
