Description	Stands with weight on right leg, left bent at knee and to rear. Right arm raised, left at side and bent at elbow. Single fairly large wing remains. Short torso. Fairly chubby with awkward pose and depiction of musculature. Left arm joined to torso and left shoulder overly large. Fairly crude facial features, hair depicted by straight parallel grooves angled towards face. Possibly wearing a wreath as there is a band decorated with herringbone around the head with four ridges on top of the forehead. Smooth top of head (no hair depicted). Wing smooth, no indication that feathers were ever depicted.
