Description

A small limestone statuette of a standing figure, shown in side profile against a pale grey backdrop. The head has a high mass of hair or headdress, and the face is worn, with the nose area chipped. The arm hangs close to the body beside a band at the waist, and the pitted, eroded stone tapers to a rounded lower body, with a section broken from the shoulder.
