The figure wears a long robe and has a markedly pointed nose and chin. A large object of indeterminate nature - possibly a large bird with its tail fanned - stands before the figure, mounted on a thin column. The figure extends a stick-like arm towards it.Diameter: 14.9mm, Weight: 1.53gms, die axis: 3
