Description

A seated statue with its head missing and arms incomplete, wearing a long garment with a girdle at the waist and heavy folds falling across the lap and legs. The figure rests on a plain base and is photographed against a crumpled cloth that outlines its shape. The stone surface looks worn, with some rough, broken areas at the edges.
