Description: A large, flat,  wooden disc represents the body of a man. Inserted into a carved out area from the top of this form is a portion of a wooden shuttle. A round hole through the top portion of the shuttle represents the man’s eyes. Below, a vertical, oblong-shaped hole represents the man’s mouth, which appears open: perhaps yawning or yelling. Two identical, curved wooden forms are attached to the surface of the man’s body, representing his arms at rest on his body. An area is carved out from the bottom of the disc representing his body. A wooden form is inserted into this cut out. The portion of the form that is within the disc is rounded, while the portion that is shaped like an upside-down cone projects below the man’s body. This form represents his phallus.
