Description

A slender terracotta figurine stands upright, its rough, pitted grey-brown surface showing a rounded head with modelled nose, eyes and mouth. Short stub arms project from the shoulders, and a small applied knob sits on the midriff. The figure is photographed against a plain grey backdrop on a mounted print, with its flat base at the bottom of the frame.
