Description

A small limestone statue of a standing figure, shown frontally against a black background. The head wears a band with leaf-like or curled ornament, the eyes are closed, and a long garment falls in vertical folds to the feet. The arm on the viewer's right is broken, with a chunk missing at the shoulder, and the figure stands on a plain rectangular base.
