Description

A larger-than-life limestone statue of a standing figure with a curled headband and a cloak falling in parallel folds over the body. Its bare feet stand on a square base, and the arms are carved close to the body. On both sides, dark shelves hold heads and busts on white bases, several with small paper labels.
