A reddish-brown terracotta figurine depicts a weathered, winged figure in a dynamic stride. Traces of white and pink pigment remain on the surface. The figure raises their right arm with two fingers pointing upward while their left arm cradles a U-shaped lyre. Deeply carved robes swirl around the legs, and two large, feathery wings rise from the shoulders. Their hair is gathered in a bun above a delicate face.
