Description

A pale limestone sculpture shows the head and upper body of a figure, with hair in short grooved strands framing the face. A bead necklace sits at the neck, one hand rests on the chest, and a band encircles the waist above a wrapped garment with incised lines. The worn surface has darker mottling, and the figure rises from a square dark base against a grey backdrop.
