Description

Side view of a limestone sculpture of a standing female figure with its hands held together at the chest. The hair is shown as long ridged locks falling down the back, and a carved band encircles the waist. The figure stands on a dark square base against a plain grey backdrop, with a number label on the body and another near the base.
