Description

A standing figure in terracotta, shown full length against a pale card, with a tall helmet-like cap, a bearded face and short stumpy arms. The long garment has broad dark painted bands across the shoulders and down the body, with a decorated border near the hem and a flat base. The surface shows cracks and joins from breakage and repair.
