Description

A headless, armless limestone statue of a standing draped figure, shown upright on a plinth against a plain grey backdrop. Deep vertical folds of drapery fall from the shoulders and across the body, and the surface is pitted and weathered, with small blue speckles on the stone. The head and both arms are missing, leaving rough broken edges at the neck and shoulders.
