Description

A standing terracotta figure with a close-fitting cap, closed eyes and a broad smile, shown from the front against a plain grey ground. Curved raised bands cross the shoulders and chest, the arms are bent at the sides with the hands at the waist, and a long garment falls to a base. Cracks run across the neck and shoulders, and the surface is worn in places.
