Description:

An upper body portrait of a youth wearing a white body cloth and neck ornaments, holding a club. His hair has been treated with ash in the past which has straightened it. The white body cloth suggests that the youth may have been associated with the mission at Nasir. He seems to be sitting on a wall next to the river seen in other images from Nasir.
