Description

A tall terracotta figure of a standing helmeted figure, with a conical-topped helmet with cheek pieces and a pointed face in profile to the left. The arms hang at the sides, a band is shown around the waist, and the body rises from a tall cylindrical base that widens at the foot. The matt brownish-grey surface has chipped areas at the right shoulder and hand, and the figure is photographed alone on a plain grey backdrop.
