Description

A tall limestone statue of a standing figure, photographed in side profile against a plain grey backdrop. The face is worn and broken, the upper head is rough and uneven, and the slender body has one arm bent to hold something at the waist. The legs are straight and the feet rest on a stepped base, with a white paper card lying beside it at the bottom edge.
