Description

A headless standing figure in pale stone wears a belted tunic with deep vertical folds and a drape over the shoulders, with the arms held at the sides. The neck and top of the shoulders are broken away, and the bare legs show below the hem. The figure stands on a light grey rectangular plinth with a dark number label on its front, against a black background.
