Description

A standing limestone statue of a full-length figure with curled hair, a band across the head and downcast eyes. The arms hang at the sides with the hands held at the waist, and the garment has fan-like folds across the body and a long straight section falling to the feet. The figure stands on a square base with a white outline against a plain grey background, and a handwritten number label is at the bottom edge.
