A life-sized enthroned statue broken into two parts with the head, right arm and sections of the left arm missing. It is solid and has no detail on the rear face. It has a worn, possibly originally rounded, base chamfered into the figure at the front and rising into a solid seat at the back. The throne does not rise above seat level. On the seat is a chamfered cushion angled slightly forwards. The robes form a high plain rounded neckline from which a plain neck emerges, jutting slightly forwards. There is no evidence of a beard or long hair. The robes drape in several long narrow vertical folds from the neck down to waist level. This figure is depicted wearing a cloak draped over both shoulders, held by cords which connect slightly off-centre on the upper chest.
