Description

A dark terracotta figurine of a standing figure, shown frontally against a pale backdrop. The head is rounded and pointed at the top, with small ear knobs and a pinched nose ridge, and the arms are held close to the sides. The slender body widens slightly to a rounded flat base, and the surface is smooth with small pits and rough patches.
