Description

A tall stone statue of a standing figure is shown full length against a pale cloth backdrop, on a mount with a white edge. The head wears a close-fitting cap with hair framing the face, and the upper body has overlapping scale-like patterning. A wide belt sits above a long skirt with carved panels of ornament and motifs, and one arm is bent with the hand at the waist; the base is roughly shaped.
