Description

A fragmentary sculpture of a human torso, turned slightly, stands on a white plinth against a black background. The head is missing and one arm survives only as a short stump on the right, while the left shoulder is broken away. The pale, weathered stone is pitted, and a dark rectangular opening is cut into the front of the plinth.
