Description

A grey terracotta figurine of a standing female figure, shown upright against a plain pale background. She wears a tall, rounded headdress, hair in curls falling to the shoulders and a beaded necklace, and her arms are bent across a long garment that narrows to a flat base. Blue marks show on the surface, and the lower edge is chipped.
