Description

A weathered limestone torso shown from a three-quarter view against a plain grey backdrop. The body is broken off at the top and at the lower legs, and the surface is pitted with small holes. On the right side a drape falls over the hip, and a mass of carved hair or fabric rises at the upper right near the shoulder.
