Description

A figure shown from the head down to a cylindrical lower section, with both arms attached and one forearm broken away. The head has wide eyes, a prominent nose, a small mouth and a band across the forehead. The pale surface shows many cracks and joins where fragments have been reassembled, and a small hole pierces the lower front against a plain grey backdrop.
