Description

A limestone statue of a head and upper body is shown against a plain grey backdrop. The figure wears a tall pointed cap with a raised beaded band, has half-closed eyes and a faint smile, and holds one hand to its chest. A garment with folds covers the shoulders and arms, the lower body is cropped by the frame, and a number card sits at the left edge.
