The relief of the feet on the broad part of the hook is quite cut off from the legs, and provides, by an upward projection, an extra pair of spikes. Part of a small limb of a tree with two twigs is tied to the base to provide still further accomodation for suspension of objects. Shoulders, breasts, hips, and thighs of figure bear carved representations of cicatrizations. |
