Description

A weathered stone figure fragment stands upright on a plain grey backdrop. The upper part has a rounded, roughly worked head with a projection at one side, and one arm is bent across the chest. The body narrows into a long, plain lower section that rests on a small rectangular base, and the surface is pitted and eroded throughout.
