Description

A full-length terracotta standing figure with a close-fitting cap, large round eyes and a straight nose on a long neck. The arms are broken off at the shoulders, and the torso is bare above a band at the waist and a skirt with two rounded flaps at the sides. Hairline cracks run across the surface, and the base is rough; a small number label sits at upper right.
