Description

A grey stone statue of a standing figure, its rounded head covered by a hood or veil that falls onto the shoulders. The face has modelled eyes, nose and mouth, the body is narrow with the arms barely indicated, and the surface is pitted and rough. The base is broken off, and the statue is shown upright, filling the frame against a plain grey backdrop.
