Description

A pitted limestone sculpture of an upright figure, photographed at a three-quarter angle against a pale backdrop. A rounded projection sits at the middle of the body, and the lower part narrows into a rough block-like base. The surface is rough and eroded, with holes and weathering across it, and a white card or paper lies beneath the base.
