Description

A grey terracotta figure of a seated person is photographed in profile against a plain pale background. The head faces left with a large, prominent nose and a wide mouth; one arm is raised with a clenched fist, and the other is bent across the body. The surface is cracked, a section of the shoulder and side is broken away, and the base is rounded.
