Description

A headless standing figure in a draped garment, with deep folds falling from the shoulders and one arm bent across the chest. The surface is pitted and worn, with broken edges at the neck and along the lower body. A small rectangular block sits at the base on the left, and a broken lump lies near the front of the base against a plain grey backdrop.
