Description

A full-length statue carved from pale limestone stands on a rectangular base against a black background. The bearded figure wears a tall, close-fitting cap and a cloak that falls diagonally across the chest in parallel pleats with a fringed edge. The clenched fists rest at the sides above a plain, block-like lower body, and a handwritten label and a number card appear along the bottom of the frame.
