Description

A terracotta figurine stands upright, photographed head-on against a pale backdrop. It has a rounded head with incised hair and face, arms folded forward with the hands joined at the chest, and a long, narrow body that widens to a flared base. Dark painted bands cross the lower body, and the surface shows small chips at the shoulders.
