Description

A stone figure of a standing human form, photographed frontally against a plain grey backdrop. The head is a cube-like block with a hole pierced through its top, set on a long narrow neck above arms that project straight out from the shoulders. The body narrows to two legs divided by a deep vertical slit; the leg on the viewer's left is broken short, and the other is complete.
