Description

A standing terracotta figure is shown full length against a pale grey backdrop, mounted on a card with a number label in the lower corner. The head has a close-fitting cap, a wide band encircles the waist above a short skirt, one arm is bent with the hand raised and the other hangs at the side, and the feet stand on an oval base. The grey surface shows cracks and join lines across the skirt and legs.
