Description

A standing limestone statue, about half a metre tall, shows a figure with a cap-like headdress, a rounded face with large eyes and a small mouth. The body is covered by a long garment with diagonal folds, and one arm is bent with the hand at the waist while the other hangs at the side. The statue stands on a small base against a plain grey wall, and a number label sits at the lower right.
