Catalogue Note

The ringed “eye” face — two great circles with a pinched nose between — gives this figure its presence. The body below is a simple tapering column marked only with a navel, the hands meeting at the chest.

It is one of the more graphic pieces in the group, with a strong front view and very little modelling at the sides.
