Description

A standing limestone figure wears a long robe with vertical folds and holds its arms close to the body. A band of leaves or a wreath encircles the head, and the face has closed eyes and a faint smile. One fist is clenched at the side, the other arm is chipped near the shoulder, and the figure stands on a square base against a plain grey backdrop.
