Description | Quite long - the proportions are not quite right. The right arm is raised to hold a missing object. Stands looking to the right slightly. Right wing bigger than the left. Wears a long gown which flicks out at the ankles. Feathers on wings depicted in several different styles. The rear of the left wing has several rows of short diagonal grooves with scallops at the top. The right wing has only scallops on the rear and on the front scallops at the top and grooves below. Quite a lot of attention to detail evident. The face is worn and the features not very visible. |
