Description

A tall terracotta figure stands on a flaring base, with a cylindrical body and a pointed conical head covering. The face has a pinched nose, a small mouth and applied ears, and one arm is held at the side with the hand near the waist. Incised strokes form a fringe across the upper body, and a small applied lump sits on one shoulder against a plain light background.
