It is very unusual to have a terracotta piece this size. This figure is free standing and fell. It was badly broken into dozens of pieces with severe cracks to the main structure. There were multiple smaller pieces broken off, chips in break lines, and a lot of missing material. Restorations like this need to be done in stages. First we separated the pieces to see what was needed and figure out where each piece went. Then we assembled the parts with tape to hold everything in place. Once the figure was reassembled, we started gluing the main pieces together, going from the main body and moving outward.
