Brown terracotta funerary urn of a figure from the shoulder up with defined details, a semi-circular pattern flaring behind their shoulders and elaborate headdress on their head. The figure has a square face and wears circular earrings almost the size of their face, a face with these features constructed from geometric shapes immediately above them, in the headdress. On either side of this headdress face bundles of leafy plant stalks flare to the sides.
