Description

A standing nude limestone figure with its arms held close to the sides, photographed from a slight angle against a plain grey backdrop. The head is turned slightly and the hair is shown as a band of locks; the top of the head and the upper arm are broken, and the surface is worn and pitted. The figure stands on a rectangular base, with a few dark rods lying on the floor beside it.
