Description

A terracotta figure photographed against a plain pale background, with a rounded head and a face decorated in dark paint. The large almond-shaped eyes have dark outlines, the brows are painted, and a dark band runs across the cheeks and chin like a beard. Two knob-like projections stand at the sides of the head, and broken pieces of the lower body and arms lie around its base.
