Description

A headless and armless standing figure carved in pale, pitted stone, wearing a long garment that falls in deep folds from the waist to the feet. One hand gathers cloth at the figure's chest while the other hangs at the hip, holding a rounded object. The figure stands on a rough, rectangular block base, with one bare foot visible at lower right; a number label sits at the lower left against a plain grey backdrop.
