Description

A tall standing figure with a close-fitting cap or helmet-like headdress, a flat face with a prominent nose and small mouth, and arms held straight down at the sides with tapering hands. The long lower body widens toward a plain base, and a curved line crosses the upper body; surface cracks and a break at the neck are visible.
