Description

A standing terracotta figure of a man wears a cap-like headdress, a strap across the chest and a short skirt with a fringed edge. One arm is bent across the chest with the fist raised, and the other hand holds a small cylindrical object at shoulder height. Cracks and join lines show the figure has been mended from fragments, and it stands on a rectangular base against a pale draped background.
