Description

A terracotta standing figure seen from the front against a plain pale backdrop. The head has a tall knob on top, heavy brows, a broad nose and a small mouth, and the arms are short stubs held close to the body. The body narrows to a flared base, and the grey-brown surface is worn and pitted in places.
