Description

A standing terracotta figurine with a tall, curved crest rising above a broad head, a round eye with a raised ring, a pointed nose and a small ear. The arms are held close to the body, and the figure narrows to a long column-like form that flares out to a base. The pale, worn surface has darker patches on the base, and the figure is photographed upright against a plain grey backdrop.
