Description

A small terracotta figure stands upright with a tall, conical headdress, a rounded face with a pointed nose, and arms held close to the body. The body narrows into a wide, flat base, and the rough, pitted surface shows darker stains and a chipped area on the right side. The figure is photographed against a pale, plain background on a mount with a cream border and a handwritten label along the bottom edge.
