Description

A weathered limestone sculpture stands upright on a small stone block, photographed outdoors on a flat stone platform. The figure has a broken, flat top, a narrow neck and a wide body with curving bulges, and a rounded face-like boss on the upper front with a hollow beneath it. The rough surface is pitted and worn, and a distant flat horizon runs across the background.
