Description

A standing terracotta figurine seen from a three-quarter angle, with a flat, disc-like head covering, a prominent nose and a projecting ear. Its arms are bent, with one hand held at the chest and the other extended at the side, and the body narrows into a long, cylindrical lower part that flares into a wide base. The pale grey-buff surface is rough and slightly mottled, shown against a plain grey backdrop.
