Description

A terracotta statuette of a standing figure with a long neck, a broad head with a prominent nose ridge, and a small ear on one side. The arms are bent with the hands near the hips, and the body narrows to a flat, broad base. The surface is pitted with small dark spots, and the figure is shown upright against a plain dark grey backdrop, with blue marks on the print in the gaps between the arms and body.
