Description

A full-length statue of a standing figure carved in rough, pitted pale stone. The figure wears a cloak wrapped over the shoulders and across the body, with the arms bent and folded at the chest, and the head has short, textured hair and a fairly full face. It stands on a dark vertical support and a tiled floor, in front of a plain grey wall.
