Description

A tall limestone sculpture with a pitted, weathered surface stands upright. Its upper part is broken, with a rounded lump at the upper left and a horizontal band across the top, and vertical grooves run down the body. Two rounded forms sit at the base on a rectangular plinth, and the object is shown against a plain grey backdrop on a card mount with handwritten notes.
