From Charles Greco appraisal report:
A large wooden stylized human form door lock having a rectangular body shape with deeply incised geometric designs. A short neck stem appears above the body with similar geometric designs. Short stem legs appear below the body with a horizontal incised band at the base. A horizontal latch is attached to the back of the body. The color is dark brown and the object has a wonderful patina due to age.
