Description

A tall standing figure in terracotta, shown full length against a plain grey backdrop on a dark wooden base. The bearded head wears a close-fitting cap with a curled edge, and the right hand is raised palm outward while the left hand rests on the chest. The body is wrapped in a mantle with a diagonal fold, and the lower garment is divided into horizontal sections; a crack runs down the lower part.
