Description

A terracotta figure stands on two feet, with a human upper body, a head with a band and rounded knobs on top, one ear visible, and arms bent forward ending in rounded forms. Its back is joined to a four-legged animal body, of which two legs are visible behind. Cracks and worn patches show on the surface, and the figure stands on a pale plain cloth backdrop.
