Description

A standing bearded figure carved in pale limestone, wearing a cap and with long ringlet locks over the shoulders. A cloak drapes over the shoulders with incised folds above a long garment with a patterned border. The right hand holds a small bird at the chest and the left hand holds a rounded object; the statue stands on a square plinth against a dark background.
