Description

A pale stone sculpture of a standing draped figure with the head missing, leaving a rough break at the top. Deep vertical folds of cloth fall from the shoulders and a heavier mantle hangs over the upper body, down to a plain base. The figure stands on a flat surface against a dark cloth backdrop, with a small pale label at the lower left.
