Description

A terracotta statue of a figure stands against a plain grey background. The face is smiling with large eyes and small ears with earrings, under a cap-like headdress with a small knob on top. A band crosses the shoulders and chest above a tall base that flares outward, and cracks and worn patches show on the upper body and base.
