Description

A standing figure carved in pale stone, wearing a long garment whose folds fall from the shoulder and across the body. The head and the lower part of one arm are broken away, and the figure stands on a rectangular base block. The legs and feet are visible below the drapery, and the surface shows weathering and fine tool marks against a grey backdrop.
