Description

A weathered stone sculpture of a standing, draped figure, photographed from the front on a plain pale surface against a grey backdrop. The top of the figure is broken away, and the bent arms are held close to the chest. The long garment falls in vertical folds to a rounded, broken base, and the surface is pitted and eroded.
