Description

A standing terracotta figurine with a tall, narrow body that widens into a flat, flared base. The arms are bent at the elbows with the hands held against the sides, and three dark bands cross the waist. The head has hair falling to the shoulders framing a plain face, and the pale surface is slightly worn, shown alone against a plain grey backdrop.
