Description

A grey, pitted limestone statue photographed from behind against a plain background. The upper part is a large block-like form with diagonal incised grooves, possibly a headdress or cloth, and the arms are held close to the body. The back, buttocks and legs are visible, and the lower legs end in a rough base standing on a pale surface, with a small tag attached near the foot.
