A standing rooster faces right, shaped from light tan terracotta with a weathered, matte surface. A jagged, scalloped comb crowns its head above an open beak. Incised lines define feathers on its rounded wing and wide, curving tail. Two small, circular holes pierce the upper body. At the base, the bird stands on a blocky, rectangular support marked with dark gray patches.
