Description

A terracotta figurine of a bust-length figure, photographed from the front against a pale background. The figure wears a rounded cap, has a broad smile, a pronounced nose and a moustache-like band, and one hand is raised to the chest. Short incised lines run along the shoulder and arm, and the rough, worn surface has flecks of blue paint, with the base broken off.
