Description

A headless statue of a standing figure, carved in stone with deep folds of drapery falling from the shoulders, across the waist and down to the feet. One arm hangs at the side and the other is bent across the body holding a fold of cloth. The surface is weathered and pitted, and the figure stands on a base set in grass and leaf litter in front of a rough stone wall.
