Description

A tall standing figure photographed against a plain grey backdrop, on a low base. The head is helmet-like with a pointed chin and large eyes, and the arms are folded across the chest over a long necklace. Below the waist a pleated garment reaches down to the bare feet, and cracks and old mends run across the body.
