Description

A standing limestone figure carved in the round, shown in side profile facing right, with hair in tight rows of curls and a narrow face. The arms are cut off at the shoulders and the figure ends at the lower legs. Blue pencil lines mark breaks and joins, and the statue stands on a floor against a plain grey backdrop with part of another stone piece at the left edge.
