Description

A standing terracotta figure wears a tall conical cap and has a short-sleeved upper body with small rings at the ears. The arm on the left side is missing below the shoulder, while the arm on the right hangs down to a simple hand. A curved, layered band runs across the waist above a long cylindrical lower body, and cracks run over the pale surface.
