Description

A standing terracotta figure with a tall conical cap, a face with lowered eyes and a small mouth, and short stub arms. Raised bands cross the chest and a pleated skirt curves over the body, which tapers down to a flat base. The pitted, pale surface shows a crack on the lower left side, and part of a number label is visible at the left edge against a grey backdrop.
