Description

A tall limestone figure stands on a rectangular base, photographed from the front against a plain grey backdrop. The body widens toward the base in a long, flaring shape, and the head is a rounded block with a flat top. Two small holes pierce the sides at arm level, and the rough, pitted surface shows darker staining across the stone.
