Description

Side view of a standing terracotta figure with a tall conical headdress, a short beard and a ribbed cape over the shoulders. One arm is bent forward with the hand resting at the front of the body, and the long robe shows cracks across its surface. The figure stands on a flat base against a plain cloth backdrop, with a number label at the lower edge.
