Description

A tall terracotta figure stands with a slightly tapering cylindrical body and a head with a pointed conical top, small ears and a modelled nose and mouth. One arm is bent across the chest, holding a small animal-like form, and the other arm hangs down at the side with its hand broken. The grey, worn surface shows dark patches, and the figure is photographed against a plain grey backdrop.
