Description

A standing terracotta figure wearing a pointed cap and a short-sleeved tunic or cuirass, with large eyes, a small ear with a ring, and one fist clenched at its side. Its feet rest on a stepped wooden base, and a long shadow falls across the pale wall behind. Breaks and join lines are visible across the chest and body.
