Description

A limestone statue of a standing figure, photographed from the front on a rectangular stone base against a plain grey background. The figure wears a leafy band around its head, has a broad face with heavy-lidded eyes, and a loose garment with vertical folds. One arm hangs at the side with the hand near the base, while the other is broken away at the shoulder, leaving a rough surface.
