In connection with this figure, Guy van Rijn refers to three figurally carved axes/sceptres which, in his opinion, seem to come from the same atelier or the same group of artists (cf. AHDRC 0032466 - 0032461 - 0032464). Especially with the figure of the first mentioned object, this figure shows stylistic similarities regarding body shapes, scarifications and the distinctive hairstyle.
