Description

A carved limestone figure of a standing, draped person, shown in side view against a plain grey backdrop. The head is covered by a veil or cloth with a rounded top, and the face is worn and broken away. Heavy folds of drapery run down the body, and the lower part sits on a flat base with a rough, broken surface.
