Description

A single hand-made terracotta figure stands upright, shown straight on against a plain grey backdrop. It has a tall, flat-topped cylindrical headdress, a face with incised eyes, nose and mouth, and one arm bent across the chest. Thin horizontal bands are marked on the lower body, and the pale buff surface shows cracks and chips, with the lower end broken away.
