Description
Stone statue in the form of a humanoid/ elf figure. Now in two parts, the body and a base which retains the statue's feet. The figure is crouched with legs together and knees tucked up in front of the chest. The elbows are resting on the knees and the hands placed on the cheeks, with the chin resting on the heel of the hands. The front of the face is damaged, but part of a broad nose survives, and it has deep-set lentoid eyes with a semicircular incision above each and raised prominent brow ridges. The head is bald and has the damaged remains of pointed ears high on the sides of the head.
