Description

A female figure modelled as a head and upper body on a tall cylindrical base, cut off at the waist. The head wears a close-fitting cap with a raised band, and a row of small marks runs along the hairline and shoulders, with a necklace-like band at the neck. The arms are missing and the surface is worn and scratched, with a deep shadow on one side.
