Description

A broken limestone statue of a standing figure, shown upright against a plain grey backdrop. The upper part is rough and eroded, and a carved face with eyes and mouth appears on the left, with drapery folds falling down the body and an arm at the right side. The base rests on small dark blocks and is bound with white tape.
