Description

Bust-length limestone statue of a figure in a tall, pointed headdress, with closed eyes and a faint smile. A band runs diagonally across a plain garment over the chest, and the arms are held close to the body. The lower body is broken away, and the statue stands on a plain surface against a grey backdrop.
