Description

A standing limestone figure is photographed frontally against a plain grey backdrop. One hand rests at the top of the head and the other is held at the chest, above a long garment with folds and a smiling face with downcast eyes. Cracks and losses show on the arms, skirt edge and feet, and the base is broken, with white label tape attached below.
