Description

A stone statue of a woman's head and upper body stands on a plain plinth that carries a number label. Her hair is arranged in curls under a veil, and one arm is bent across her waist while a lyre-shaped instrument rises beside her shoulder. The drapery is carved in vertical folds, and the lyre and some edges of the stone are broken and chipped.
