Description

In shape of Venus standing on a pedestal. She stands on a rounded base. Her hair is piled on top of her head and gathered at the back. Her right hand is brushing through the loose parts of her hair. Her left hand hangs by her waist and from it drapery falls. She has a wide nose and small eyes and a small mouth. She has a narrow waist, small breasts and wide hips. The folds of the drapery are cruder at the back of the figure. Her feet are little more than slipper shapes with faint lines to suggest toes.
