Description

A hand-modelled terracotta figure seen from the front against a plain background, with a tall pointed head, a ridged nose and small projections at the sides of the head. Broad shoulders run into short arms held close to the body, and the figure narrows to a flared base. The grey-buff surface is smooth, with some small chips and a dark spot on the upper chest.
