Description

A grey terracotta figurine standing on four legs, with a human-like head that has large eyes, a prominent nose and a small mouth. One arm is raised to the side of the head, and the upper body is a plain cylinder rising from a rounded animal-like body with a short tail at the back. The surface shows cracks and chips on the legs, and a number label sits in the lower corner against a plain grey background.
