Description

A standing terracotta figure with a tall, conical headdress, large flap-like ears and a thin cord at the throat. A broad band with a notched edge runs diagonally across the chest, and one forearm is bent up to the chest while the other arm hangs at the side. The figure is broken at the viewer's left shoulder and across the band, and is shown against a plain grey backdrop.
