Description

The terracotta figurine is shown in profile facing left, with a bearded face, a nose and a high rounded head with ridged hair above the ear. Its arms are folded across the chest, and the body narrows into a plain, bell-shaped form with a flat base. A crack shows near the neck, and a number label sits on the lower edge of the mount.
