Description

A limestone sculpture fragment of a standing figure, photographed frontally against a grey backdrop. The head and upper shoulders are broken away, and the arms are bent across the chest with the hands gripping a tall rectangular bar that runs from the chest down past the waist. A diagonal crack crosses the lower torso, and the lower edge is broken and uneven.
