This small, wooden standing statue is a unique masterpiece of art, which portrays a porter advancing and carrying a basket on his back. The basket is decorated and fitted with a support used when resting it on the ground.

The two white straps are used to hold it over the servant's shoulders and around his arms. His right hand holds a wicker container decorated with geometric patterns.
