Description

A tall terracotta figure of a standing human with a cylindrical head covering, incised eyes, nose and mouth, and small ears. Short stubby arms hang at the sides, and a diagonal incised band crosses the chest over a plain upper body. The lower body is a straight column with faint horizontal striations, and the figure stands on a pale base against a grey backdrop.
