Description

A carved white marble fragment of drapery, with closely set vertical folds and wavy raised ridges across the surface. A broad diagonal band with short incised lines crosses the front, and a rounded fold hangs at the lower right. The top and right edges are rough and broken, and the piece sits on a dark slab base with a scale bar and a number label in front.
