Description

A worn, pitted stone sculpture of a draped standing figure, photographed in close view against a dark background. The top of the head is broken away, and carved folds of cloth run diagonally down the body, with a narrower projecting piece at the right side. The figure stands on a base block, and a scroll-shaped carved fragment lies at lower left among blurred stone pieces.
