Description

A large standing terracotta figure of a bearded man, reassembled from fragments with cracks visible across the head, shoulders and long robe. The head wears a wrapped headband, and one bent arm raises a small round object near the shoulder. The bare feet stand on a dark plinth with a pale stain at its base, against a plain grey backdrop.
