Description

A standing terracotta figure in a long garment with vertical incised folds, its head in a close-fitting cap and its eyes wide and almond-shaped. One arm is bent with the hand raised toward the chest, the other hangs straight down, and the feet stand on a flat base. The pale brown surface shows some cracks at the waist, and a small label sits at lower left against a plain pale background.
