Description

A large worn stone statue, its head and upper body rising from tall grass and weeds, with a broken base and displaced stones around it. The upper figure wears a garment with horizontal folds and what looks like a rounded cap or headdress, and the surface is pitted and chipped. The lower part is largely hidden by rubble and vegetation.
