Description: | This small figure stands raised on toes with legs apart and both arms facing downwards, away from the sides. The hips and thighs are very wide in comparison with the rest of the body. The toes are delineated by incised lines and the arms curl at the ends so as to suggest hands. The buttocks have been defined and there is a suggestion of breasts. The head sits upon a wide neck, protruding forward from the body. The facial features have been sculpted and arching brows have been clearly defined. There is also a suggestion of a head ornament. The figure is made from terracotta and is covered in a white glaze. Red pigment is used to define areas of the body such as breasts and ears and also to define the head ornament.
