Description

Photograph of a tall terracotta statue shown in side profile against a pale grey backdrop. The figure has a narrow head with a pointed crest and a long body that widens toward the base, with one arm held down the front. Cracks and repaired breaks run across the surface, and the figure stands on a rough base with a dark gap near the feet.
