Description

A headless standing figure carved from limestone, wearing a short-sleeved garment that reaches to the hips. One arm is bent and its hand grips a rounded lump against the body, and the legs stand apart with blocky feet. The surface is rough and worn, with chips at the neck and shoulders, and the figure is shown on a pale surface against a plain grey background.
