Description

A standing terracotta figure with a moustache, a pointed conical cap and a long, loose tunic with short sleeves. Its arms hang at its sides and its feet rest on a flat rectangular base. The pale buff surface shows cracks and join lines from reassembly, and the figure is shown against a plain light background.
