Description

A standing draped figure carved in pitted limestone, with the head missing and the top of the body rough and broken at the shoulder. Deep folds of cloth run down the torso and across the chest, and the left arm is bent at the side. A dark block sits under the base, and a small label is visible in the lower right corner against a plain grey backdrop.
