Marble female figure
A pale marble figurine with a long, narrow neck and a flat, violin-shaped body that narrows at the waist and ends in a rounded base. The stone's surface is weathered and pitted, with a warm, granular texture against a plain gray background.
Look closer: A few small pits and chips in the lower body, where the stone surface has worn away.
