Description

A standing limestone statue of a female figure, seen from the front against a plain grey background. The head wears a close-fitting cap or headdress, the face is worn, and the breasts are modelled under a long, straight garment that reaches down to the flat base at the feet. The surface is pitted and stained, with darker patches and faint bluish traces at the neck and shoulders.
