Description

A terracotta figurine seen in side profile, standing on a flared base with one arm raised straight up beside the head. The head has a thick cap-like top, a large projecting nose and a small eye marked by an incised ring, and a small knob projects from the chest. The surface is rough and worn, and the figure stands on a pale stand against a plain grey background.
