Description

Photograph of the upper body of a large terracotta statue, with a smooth head, a ppale band across the forehead, and eyes and mouth modelled in a flat face. A dark band lies across the neck above a pale collar, and the chest has two rows of incised ridges forming a V shape. One arm is bent across the chest, and the surface shows cracks and a broken lower edge against a plain grey cloth backdrop.
