Description

A tall terracotta figure of a standing human with a tall, cone-shaped headdress, a narrow face with small features, and arms held close to the body. The body is long and slightly tapering, with a flared base, and the surface shows small chips and cracks. It stands alone against a plain grey backdrop, photographed straight on.
