Description

A standing figurine in grey-buff clay with a broad head, large round eyes and a beak-like nose. Its arms are bent with the hands resting on the chest, a band encircles the neck, and an incised belt sits at the waist above two slender legs. The figure stands on a small white base with a number label, against a plain grey backdrop.
