Description

A headless standing figure wearing a draped garment, carved from pale grey stone and photographed against a plain backdrop. The arms are bent and held across the chest, and the drapery falls in deep folds down the body and sides. The figure stands on an irregular, rock-like base, and a small number label is attached at the lower left.
