Ancient Egyptian figurine from Naukratis

Orange and brown hollow pottery head of a baby or small child from a figurine. Facial features are modelled and cherubic, hair may have been intended around the top of the face, but the pottery surface is rough here, so it may be unintentional. It wears a pointed bonnet or hood, that wraps around under the chin. The back is undecorated.
