One of the realistic limestone sculptures from the second batch of ancient Puntite statues, excavated near Berbera in northwestern Somalia. The figure has the same phlegmatic expression, long face and "Caucasoid" features as the Gol Waraabe statues. He is also wearing an ornate headdress, which possibly indicates that he is royalty.
