Description

A standing statue of a figure in a long draped garment, with short curled hair and a calm face. The arms are held close to the body, and one hand holds a rounded object at the chest, while the folds of cloth fall in vertical ridges to the feet. The statue stands on a square base, and its rough, pitted surface shows wear and small chips.
