Description

The statue faces left in profile on a square plinth, with its hair drawn up under a band, curled locks at the side of the head and an earring below. Drapery falls in vertical folds, and one arm is bent across the front of the body to hold a fold of cloth. Its surface is weathered and chipped, and a scale bar and a number label sit on the base against a grey background.
