Description

Full-length terracotta statue of a standing figure with a tall pointed headdress, incised eyes and mouth, and a cape marked with horizontal ridges across the shoulders. A band of concentric curved grooves covers the chest, the arms hang bent at the sides with open hands, and the bare feet stand on a wooden base. The pale surface shows cracks and areas of repair, and the figure is set against a draped light cloth.
