Squatting figure, made from plaster with remains of colour and gilding. The figure is in low relief and wears a crown with pendants at the side. The features are flat. The figure wears a long-sleeved coat with metal bracelets on the upper arm, the hands hold a flower, and round the neck is a necklace with a Maltese cross pendant. The legs are crossed (the feet missing). The robe has traces of blue pigment, the crown is red.

This figure is related to A.21-1928 and A.22-1928, which were likewise both donated by Lady Marling. The registered description relates this figure to similar figures in the Louvre, and one published in the Burlington Magazine, LIII (1928), pl. 32.

A.23-1928 (mask, plaster with remains of colour) and A.24-1928 (plaster harpy) were also donated at the same time by Lady Marling. The pigments on A.23-1928 were analysed in 2006 by Raman spectroscopy, by Lucia Burgio in V&A's Conservation Science section. The bright red pigment (on the mouth and eyebrows) was identified as vermilion, the black (on the hair and eyes) gave a weak signal for carbon black, but no spectrum could be obtained for the dull yellow pigment (used for the eyes).
