Shrine Figure (misi or mishi)

Cleveland Museum of Art

Dark brown wooden statue of a figure with elongated head, prominent facial features, and a cloth wrapped around waist. The figure has a long nose and mouth, small eyes, and a distinctive hairstyle. It stands with feet shoulder-width apart and arms bent at the elbows, with hands positioned near the chest. A light-colored cloth is wrapped around the waist, and the background features a gradient from dark to light gray. The figure appears to be a Shrine Figure, or misi or mishi, by an unknown artist.
