Description

A standing limestone statue seen in profile, facing right, with bare feet set on a rectangular base. The figure wears a cap with a ribbed, braided edge and a short kilt, and its bent arms bring the hands together at the waist around a rounded object. The surface looks weathered and slightly abraded, and the statue is photographed against a plain grey backdrop.
