Description

A standing terracotta figure photographed head-on against a plain grey backdrop. The head has hair framing a broad face with large eyes and a small mouth, and short arm stumps project from the shoulders. Dark painted bands cross the shoulders and waist, a V-shaped motif marks the chest, and the body narrows to a flared base, with chips and wear on the surface.
