Description

A seated stone statue of a child with short curly hair and head turned upward, one raised arm broken off short. A string of round beads crosses the chest over ridged drapery, and a small animal is carved beside the right hand, with an ankle band on one bare foot. The figure sits on an oval base marked with a number label, shown against a plain grey backdrop.
