Description

A standing terracotta statue of a human figure with a tall pointed headdress and a wide cape with fine ridged lines over the shoulders. A curved ridged pattern runs across the chest, the arms hang at the sides, and the long robe reaches the bare feet. The figure stands on a rectangular wooden base against a plain grey backdrop, with cracks and repair joins visible across the body.
