Description

A headless, armless torso of a standing figure in pale stone, shown upright against a plain grey background. The chest, waist and hips are modelled with a pronounced curve, and the surface is pitted and weathered, with broken edges at the neck and shoulders. A small paper label sits at the lower left, a white strip is wrapped around the base, and a small stone fragment lies beside it.
