Description

A standing statue of a figure with short curled hair and a worn face, wrapped in a draped garment that crosses the body. One arm is bent across the waist, holding a round object, and the other arm hangs at the side. The statue stands on a rectangular base, and its surface is weathered, with chipped edges and eroded feet.
