Description

A worn stone statue of a standing figure with short, curled hair and a garment draped across the chest and falling in folds to the feet. One arm is bent up at the chest, and the other hangs at the side holding a fold of cloth. The surface is pitted and eroded, with a dark line across the drapery, and the figure stands on a rough base against a plain grey background.
