Description

A standing terracotta figure of a human shown in side profile, facing right. The head has incised hatching across the hair, and one arm is bent with the hand raised in front of the chest while part of the upper body is broken away, leaving a dark hollow. Cracks run across the shoulders and body, and vertical incised lines mark the long robe above a flat base with the feet shown.
