Description

The photograph shows a standing limestone statue in side profile, facing left, with a long garment falling to the feet and one arm bent across the body. The head has a rounded hairstyle, and the rough, pitted surface of the stone is visible. The figure stands on a small block against a plain grey backdrop, with a number label near its base.
