A white Parian porcelain sculpture depicts a woman standing on an oval tiered base. Her head is tilted down, wearing a headband in her wavy hair. A long, pleated garment gathers at her waist, falling in folds to her feet. She rests her left arm on a short column on our right and holds a dagger in her right hand on our left. The smooth material captures her somber, downcast expression.
