Description

A terracotta figure in side profile with a human-like head, a rounded ear and a long mass of hair behind it, set on an animal-like body with four cylindrical legs. A tube projects forward from the shoulder area, and the grey clay shows cracks and joins from repair, with ribbing on one front leg. It stands on a plain grey surface against a plain grey backdrop.
