This terracotta statue depicts a woman with a long neck who is covered in drapery over both her body and head. Only her face is visible, and she looks directly out. The woman holds her cloak across her body with her right arm raised above waist and her left arm tucked closer to her body. It appears that she is holding the cloak across her body and lifting the hem. There are gathered folds at the hem in a tulip shape. The statue is a speckled brown and peach color.
