Description

A terracotta standing figure seen from behind, with a tall conical head and arms hanging at its sides. The garment over the shoulders and body is covered with closely incised parallel lines, with a vertical join down the back and visible cracks and breaks. The lower body is a cylindrical, skirt-like section, and the figure stands on a rectangular plinth against a draped white cloth.
