A tall, hollow-looking terracotta figure stands on a flared base, with narrow shoulders, a long neck and arms pressed close to the body. The head has a broad flat band or cap on top, a prominent nose, lowered eyes and a modelled ear, while the surface is matte grey-brown with pale patches on the base and right hand. It is photographed in three-quarter view against a plain grey background.
