Description

A standing terracotta figure with a rounded head, incised almond-shaped eyes, a small nose and ears, and a narrow body widening to a flared base. Many cracks and joins show where the piece has been broken and mended, and a curved fragment crosses the torso diagonally. It is photographed frontally against a pale background, with a small number card at the left edge.
