Description

A terracotta standing human figure seen from the front, with a curled, layered headdress framing the face, a broad necklace with a pendant, and arms held close to the body. The figure rises from a plain square base and is photographed against a pale grey backdrop on a mount. The surface is worn and pitted, and a small handwritten number is visible on the figure's right side.
