Description

Front view of a limestone statue of a standing figure wearing a wreath or band around the head, with heavy-lidded eyes and a faint smile. The body is draped in a garment with folds across the chest, and the arms hang at the sides with one hand clenched at the front. The stone surface is rough and pitted, and the figure stands on a pale base against a plain grey background.
