Description

A standing human figure in terracotta, shown alone against a plain pale background. It has a tall, pointed conical head covering over a broad face with a prominent nose and side flaps, and the shoulders and small breasts are modelled in low relief. The arms hang close to the body with simple stub hands, and the body narrows to a long column ending in a flat base.
