Description

A standing limestone figure seen in profile, facing left, with arms held close to the body and a band or cap over the hair. The surface is pitted and weathered, and a short garment shows a vertical fold. The lower legs are broken, leaving rough ends, and the figure stands on a pale surface against a plain grey backdrop with a small white patch at its base.
