Description

A large terracotta statue of a standing figure stands on a square base, with its bare feet visible at the bottom. The head wears a close-fitting cap and has large eyes and a straight nose, while the arms are missing at the shoulders. The torso has cracks and repair joins, and a raised motif of concentric arcs sits on the lower body above a plain lower section, with a pale cloth hanging behind.
