Description

A standing limestone figure with its head wrapped in a turban-like cloth, eyes lowered and a faint smile. The right hand is raised to the chest, and the long garment falls in deep vertical folds on the left side. The lower legs and base are broken and rough, and the figure is shown frontally against a plain grey backdrop.
