Description

A pale terracotta statuette of a standing figure, photographed full length against a grey backdrop on a mounted card. The body is a tall, plain column with no separate legs, and the head has a rounded cap-like top, a pinched nose and small ears. Both arms are folded across the chest, with the hands meeting near the waist, and a crack runs down the left shoulder.
