Description

A standing human figure with a close-fitting cap, round ear ornaments and a ring-shaped pendant on a necklace. Its arms hang at the sides with bands around the upper arms, and it wears a short-sleeved garment, a belt with square panels and a long skirt-like garment to the feet. Cracks run across the body, and the figure stands on a rectangular base against a plain grey background.
