Description

A pale limestone statue of a standing female figure, shown frontally against a dark background on a square base. The hair is arranged in rows of wavy locks framing the face, which has almond-shaped eyes and a faint smile. A draped garment falls in folds to the base, and both arms are broken off at the elbows.
