For me, this figure feels somewhere in between masculine and feminine. Maybe this could be a representation of both halves of my psyche being represented. In a lot of shamanic traditions, you have male shamans who would embody feminine aspects in order to access the non-physical.
There are different motifs within the picture which embody some feminine aspects, such as the image of mother and child, and the black ankh between the two effigies at the bottom of the piece.
