Description

A terracotta figurine photographed in side profile against a plain light background. The standing figure has a large pointed nose, a tall tapering top to the head, and one arm bent with the hand held in front of the body. Rows of small applied knobs run down both sides of the body, which narrows to a flared base, and the surface shows pale patches and cracks.
