Description

A grey terracotta figurine photographed in side profile against a pale background. The body is tall and narrow, flaring out to a wide base, and the head has a long pointed top and a sharp, beaked face. A flat, disc-like projection sits at the left shoulder beside a rounded arm, and several cracks run down the body.
