Description

A small limestone model of a two-wheeled cart, photographed straight on against a plain pale background. The body is an arched canopy enclosing a seated female figure with a rounded face and hair bound back, one hand resting on her lap and the other raised to her chest. The solid disc wheels and axle are visible, and the stone surface is weathered with some chipping along the top edge.
