Description

A terracotta figure in side view against a plain pale background. It wears a tall peaked headdress with small knobs along its edge, and a dotted band runs from the cap across the cheek. The shoulders carry an incised cross-hatched band, one arm is bent across the body, and the lower body narrows into a cylindrical base with incised vertical lines; a crack crosses the lower part.
