She stands with weight on her right foot, heel turned slightly to right, her right hand outstretched to the side and holding a large disc (intended to be a patera) with incised cross on its upper surface. The left arm is bent at the elbow, extending out from the waist, holding a small, pellet like cake with incised cross on upper surface. She wears plain slippers, high girt sleeveless chiton and a loose veil falling from a tiara over both shoulders, wrapped around the body and hanging from her left elbow A few folds of drapery are carried in shallower modeling across the back of the figure. The tiara has a central trefoil decoration and a rosette at each end. The face has sparse modeling with large eyes and wavy hair above the forehead.
