Description

The figurine stands with its legs together on a flat base, with a broad, rounded head, a prominent nose and projecting ears above a collar-like band at the shoulders. One arm hangs down the viewer's left and bends toward the hip, while the other arm is broken off at the right shoulder. The rough, pitted surface is pale grey in the photograph, which is mounted on grey card cut to the figure's outline, with handwritten labels beside it.
