Description

A tall standing figure in terracotta with a narrow head, a flat rim across the top, and a face with narrow-slit eyes and a small nose and mouth. The arm on the viewer's left is broken off at the shoulder, the other arm hangs straight down at the side, and the lower body is a plain cylinder with curved incised lines across the torso. Cracks and old repairs show across the shoulders and chest against a plain grey backdrop.
