Description

Four small terracotta objects stand on short black or white bases against a plain grey backdrop. Three are heads with exaggerated features: the left one has wide staring eyes and a bristly beard, the second has a loop handle on top, and the right one has small holes pierced in its face and crown. The tallest, in the centre, is a seated figure with a loop handle above its head and several small holes pierced through its body.
