Description

A grey-buff terracotta figure of a human head and upper torso, shown against a pale background. The face has modelled eyes, a small nose and a closed mouth, and the hollow body widens toward a flat base. One arm projects to the viewer's right and ends in a broken stump, and the shoulder has a crack and a dark hole in the chest.
