A standing figure with a halo and clasped hands, in a black and white artwork fragment
This black and white image presents a standing figure, depicted as a vertical fragment of an artwork. The figure faces forward, with a slight tilt of the head to the left. A circular halo, characterized by a darker inner band and a lighter outer edge, frames the head. The figure's face has downcast eyes, a small mouth, and elongated earlobes. The hair is styled in an elaborate topknot, adorned with visible decorative elements. The hands are clasped together at chest height, with fingers pointing upwards. The figure is dressed in flowing garments. Dark, ribbon-like sashes drape over the shoulders and extend downwards along both sides of the body. The upper torso shows areas of damage, particularly around the chest and arms. A decorative belt or sash is visible around the waist, featuring a prominent knot or buckle at its center. The lower body is covered by a long, flowing skirt or drapery that reaches the bare feet, which are slightly turned outwards. The background is a plain, light tone, with visible texture and frayed edges indicating the artwork's fragmented state.
