Description

A broken limestone sculpture fragment, pale and speckled, with a narrower upper part and a wider lower part. Shallow carved lines curve across the upper part, a horizontal band runs across the waist, and vertical folds fall on the lower section. The top and bottom edges are rough where it has broken, and it is shown straight on against a plain grey backdrop.
