Description

A small standing figure modelled in terracotta, with a pointed cap, a round face with pinched eyes, nose and mouth, and small ears. The arms are bent across the chest, with a projecting shape held at one shoulder, and the body narrows to a flared base. The surface is pitted and grey-toned, and the figure stands alone against a plain background.
