Description

A tall terracotta statue of a standing figure with a pointed conical cap, a pointed beard and large round eyes. The arms hang at the sides with the hands resting at the hips, and the body wears a short upper garment with a wide band at the waist. The legs and bare feet stand on a flat rectangular base, and the surface shows cracks and worn patches against a plain grey backdrop.
