Description

A close view of a carved relief on a light stone block with a moulded edge along the top and bottom. At the centre a small figure stands with its limbs extended, flanked on both sides by scrolling, leaf-like foliage that is worn and rounded. The surface shows weathering and chipped areas, and the carving is shown straight on against a dark background.
