Description

Three small statuettes of female figures are shown against a plain dark background. The tall central figure has large wings spread behind her and raises one arm to her head, with the other hand near her chest. The smaller figures at left and right also have an arm raised to the head, and the right one is cut off by the frame; the surfaces look worn and pitted.
