Description

A pale limestone sculpture of a figure in profile facing left, with a rounded head, a visible ear and lowered eyes. One arm is bent across the body with the hand resting on the waist, and the lower body is broken and set on a dark grey block base. A dark curved rod behind the figure supports it, against a plain dark background.
