Description

A full-length terracotta statue of a standing bearded man with a close-fitting cap or band on the head. Visible cracks and join lines show that it has been reassembled from fragments, and the bent arm rises to the shoulder. The figure stands bare-footed on a low wooden plinth against a plain grey wall.
