Description

A standing limestone statue of a figure in a long garment with vertical folds, set on a rectangular base. A band of pendant shapes runs around the neck, the hair is arranged in waves at the sides under a flat cap-like headdress, and the bent arms have bracelets at the wrists. The surface is rough and worn, and the figure is shown straight-on against a plain pale backdrop.
