Description

A fragment of a marble statue photographed against a dark background. Deep parallel pleats run diagonally across a draped garment over the shoulder and chest, and wavy locks of hair fall along the sides. The surface is weathered, the lower edge is broken, and a small raised oval motif sits on the lower left of the drapery.
