Description

A standing limestone statue with arms hanging at the sides and the body turned slightly to one side. The head has long hair falling behind the shoulders, a band across the forehead, large almond-shaped eyes and a small mouth. Bands encircle both upper arms, a wide belt sits above a kilt with vertical incised lines and ornament at the hem, and the surface shows chipping at the edges.
