Description

A tall terracotta figure with a cylindrical body, photographed against a pale background and standing on a round foot. The head is in profile facing left, with a pronounced nose, a rounded ear and a flat top with a short neck projecting above. One arm bends out from the upper body and ends in a rounded hand, several cracks run across the surface, and a small number label is written near the base.
