Description

A stone sculpture of a standing figure wrapped in heavy drapery, with the arms folded across the chest and the hands visible at the front. The head and upper part are rounded and worn, with no clear face. The lower body has folds of cloth falling down the sides, and the figure stands on a rough block base against a plain grey backdrop.
