Description

A standing limestone statue faces the camera with its arms hanging at its sides and fists closed. It wears a long garment with a belt at the waist and a close-fitting head covering, and its face has almond-shaped eyes and a slight smile. The stone surface is pitted and weathered, with small chips near the base, and the figure is set against a plain dark background.
