Moth or Winged Person Holding Child

Moth has the face of a human being but has wings. Moths are usually shown with a hooked beak (seen in the side profile of this figure). The moth figures on this pole are likely figures in a state of transition from human to moth. The Moth or Winged Person in this figure is holding a child, whose face has now been restored. The story behind this figure is not known.
