Description

A stone statue of a woman seated on a high-backed chair with turned posts for armrests. Her hair is drawn up in a braided bun, and her draped garment falls in folds over her lap, where her hands hold a small rectangular object. The figure stands on a rectangular plinth against a plain wall, photographed in grey tones.
