Description

A standing limestone statue of a figure in a long draped garment, with a close-fitting head covering of curled locks and a rounded face. The arm on the viewer's left is broken off below the elbow, and the other hand is clenched at the hip. The figure stands on a flat base against a plain grey backdrop, with a short wooden stick lying by its right foot and a handwritten number in the top left corner.
