Description

A standing male figure in terracotta, wearing a pointed cap and with a short beard and large, almond-shaped eyes. He has a short-sleeved tunic with a pointed panel at the waist, bare legs and sandals, and his arms hang at his sides with clenched hands. Several cracks and join lines run across the torso and legs, and the figure stands on a rectangular wooden base against a plain pale wall.
