Description

A standing terracotta figure with a rounded head, a band across the forehead, large eyes and a small mouth. One arm is raised with the hand near the shoulder, and the other is bent at the elbow with a hole at its end where the hand is missing. Cracks run across the head, chest and arm, showing repairs, and the figure stands on two feet on a flat oval base against a pale background.
