Description

The figure stands upright on a wide, flared base, with arms held close to the body and hands resting against the hips. The head faces left in profile, with a pointed nose, a prominent chin and a tall headdress that rises well above the head. The worn, matt grey surface shows small chips and pale patches, and the figure is photographed against a plain pale backdrop.
