Gypsum statue of a woman wearing a cloak, long tunic with traces of painted border at the hem, a belt which once had gilt decoration and sandals, originally painted red. There are traces of blue and yellow on the lotus pattern border of her cloak. The pigments were applied using the encaustic technique. She holds out her right hand in a gesture of offering, but the objects she once held are missing. (The object she once held in her right hand may have been a torch, for there are traces of burning down the front of the figure).
