Description

A standing figure with one hand raised, palm forward, and the other hand held against the chest. It has a bearded face, a cap-like head covering and a diagonal band across the chest. The long garment reaches the feet, which stand on a dark square base, and the matte surface shows cracks and repaired joints.
