Description

A standing terracotta figurine seen from the front, with a tall cap-like headdress, a modelled face, and arms held close to the body. Faint painted bands run across the shoulders and chest, and the body narrows to a wide, flaring base. The figure is photographed alone against a plain grey backdrop.
