Description	The figurine has an elaborate hairstyle with a topknot and is un-clothed. The figurine's arms are bent at the elbow and the hands are missing. The legs are apart with the feet placed one in front of the other as if taking a step forward. The back of the figurine is of the same quality as the back. The surface of the metal over the shoulder-blades is roughened which may indicate where wings were once attached. It is not possible to stand the figurine up, it was clearly originally attached to a base which is no-longer present (PAS).
