Additional information

An unusual korwar in that both figures do not touch the base, the frontal figure has raised legs which adds to a very flat composition and the head has an extension on both sides; one hand is upward, the other downward. The main figure has shortened arms. Cave patina? Schouten Islands or Raja Ampat?
