Description

A small terracotta figure stands upright with a human face, a cap-like head and arms bent so that its hands hold a round object with raised ridges against the chest. The body narrows into a tall, cylindrical shape with several dark horizontal bands and a flared base. The figurine is photographed against a plain grey backdrop, and the print is mounted on a light card.
