Description

A tall, narrow statue photographed in side profile against a plain grey backdrop, facing right. The head has a tall, flat-topped headdress and a sharply modelled nose and chin, and one arm is bent at the front with the hand held near the waist. The body narrows into a cylindrical lower part, and the rough, pale surface shows fine cracks and small pits.
