A gray, weathered earthenware sculpture depicts a standing figure with hands clasped at her midsection. She has a smooth head, narrow eyes, and a mouth set in a thin line. Flaking light gray slip covers the dark clay. She wears a long robe with wide sleeves featuring vertical folds. The flared hem reveals rounded shoes. Her posture is formal and static, and her expression is calm.
