Figure 199.—Smaller staff gods (a-d, British Mus., L.M.S., 306-19); e-f, British Mus., L.M.S., 18-20). a, full-length figure showing head (1), upper series of small figures (2), middle staff (3), lower series of figures (4), and terminal phallus (5); total length 1,640 mm. b, head and upper series of figures: head (1) with eye elements of eyeball, upper and lower lids, and brow; mouth defined by three notches instead of four as in large staff gods; typical ear and no nose; notched arm (2) and hand of the large head forms lower boundary of first figure; first figure (3) is full-face with large ears, poorly carved conventional face, and limbs represented by a horizontal ridge on either side; second figure (4) in profile with secondary figure (5) below it in full face with large ears, conventionalized face, and triangular depressions defining body and bent leg elements; last secondary figure (6) with large ears, conventional face, and two limb elements on either side, has no projecting figure above it. Large head (1), 133 mm. high from chin to vertex and 72 mm. from front back. Upper series of figures extends for 170 mm. beyond chin of large head. Cross diameters of staff part (7) are 38 mm. by 32 mm. c, lower series of figures in upper and lower sets and terminal phallus: upper set consists of two profile figures (1, 1) looking away from a middle full-faced figure (2). Projecting profile figures consist of head with single horizontal element to represent limbs, and each has secondary full-face figure (3, 3) below it; secondary figures (3, 3) have well-marked ears, with conventional faces, and horizontal elements to represent limbs; middle full face (2) has part above one ear broken away, and with the two ears and extremely conventionalized face it occupies projecting part of wood, and part below (4), which, in large staff gods, would be occupied by a secondary figure is here elaborated into elements representing a body and limbs for head above; thus below the face are two horizontal ridges representing upper limbs with a rounded knob for the body between them; below these again are two horizontal elements on either side, representing lower limbs, but one is cut through at knee joint. Two last figures (5, 6) are in projecting profile looking away from each other and with gap between; first (5) has single upper limb element beneath it followed by full-face figure (7) with large ears bounding conventional face and bent elements for lower limbs; second (6) has conventional profile face with upper limb flexed to hand with three fingers and a bent lower limb. First series (1, 1) occupies length of 140 mm. and second (5, 6) a length of 98 mm. Phallus (8) is 110 mm. long, d, under surface, lower end: 1, notched part under first set of figures; 2, notched part under second set of figures; 3, phallus, e, head and upper figure series: head (1) conforms to previous pattern with serrated arm (2) and three-fingered hand, but the figure (3) above arm is in profile instead of full face; next projection (4) is notched on each border without any carved figure; height of head (1) 118 mm., maximum length 68 mm., width 33 mm.; staff (5) is 39 mm. in diameter, f, lower end of e with phallus amputated: first figure (1) in projecting profile with lower part (2) notched instead of secondary figure; last pair (3, 4) in profile facing away; one (3) consists of head only with part below it notched; the other (4) has normal head with upper limb and three-fingered hand, and horizontal ridge for lower limb. Total length of staff god without phallus 1,025 mm.
