Description

A standing limestone statue of a bearded figure with a banded headband and large eyes, its raised right arm bent with the fist closed and its other hand held at the side. Layered concentric folds of a cloak cover the shoulders and chest, and the weathered, pitted surface is visible. The statue stands on two wooden blocks against a plain grey backdrop, shown on a photo card.
