Description

The head and upper body of a limestone statue fragment, shown from the front against a plain pale backdrop. The face is heavily worn, with the nose and mouth damaged and the eyes nearly closed. A veil falls from the head over the shoulders in long folds, and the lower edge is broken off and rests on a pale strip of support.
