Description

A tall terracotta statue of a standing, bearded man in a long garment that reaches the bare feet, with one arm bent up across the chest and a close-fitting cap on the head. The surface is covered with cracks and joins from reconstruction, and some areas are missing. The figure stands on a low plinth against a plain pale wall.
