Description

A tall terracotta figure with an elongated body, long neck and head turned in profile to the right. The arms hang close to the body, with one hand bent forward, and the figure rises from a wide, flat base with a ridged band. A crack runs across the head and neck, and the figure stands against a plain pale background.
