Description

A full-length statue of a standing woman carved in a grey-brown stone, with her hair drawn back under a veil that falls to her shoulders. She wears a belted, draped garment with a knotted band at the waist, and holds an object in her right hand near her hip while her left arm rests at her side. The figure stands on a plain rectangular base against a pale cloth backdrop; the surface is worn and the nose and some details are damaged.
