Description

A full-length standing statue carved in limestone, showing a head with a close-fitting head covering, a necklace with a pendant, and arms held close to the body. It wears a long garment with a band across the waist, and it stands on a flat base. The surface is weathered, with pale patches and dark staining, and the photograph is set on a light card mount against a plain backdrop.
