Description

A terracotta figurine of a standing human figure with a rounded head, large nose and flattened ears, set on a short neck. One arm is bent with the hand resting on the hip, and dark painted lines and zigzag bands cover the chest and torso. The body narrows to a flaring flat base, and the figure is photographed against a plain grey backdrop.
