Description

A standing limestone statue shown frontally on a square base against a dark backdrop, with arms held close to the sides. The head has a flat, block-like cap of hair, narrow eyes and a short beard edge, and the body wears a garment with a diagonal fold across the torso. A carved leaf-like shape hangs at its left side, and the stone surface is pitted and weathered.
