Description

A standing terracotta figure with a flared base and long narrow neck, its rounded head topped by a short tube. The face has closed eyes, a pinched nose, a small mouth and ears; one arm is raised with a rounded hand, while the other hangs at the side. A diagonal dark band runs across the chest, and the grey surface is mottled against a grey backdrop.
