Description

A standing stone figure of a young person with short curled hair, turned to the viewer's right and wearing a draped garment with a folded band across the chest. The left arm hangs down, the hand holding a bunch-like object, while the right arm is bent across the body with a broken projection at its side. The figure stands on a square base and is photographed on a plinth against a plain grey backdrop.
