Description

A standing stone figure, shown from a three-quarter side view against a plain pale backdrop, with its head and upper neck broken away. The body is wrapped in a close-fitting garment, one arm is bent at the shoulder, and a bulky object is held against the side at hip height. The feet rest on a flat base, and the grey-brown surface is worn and chipped in places.
