A white Carrara marble statue perhaps emblematical of Spring. She is classically dressed wearing a tunic tied by a brooch on either side. Her head is tilted to her left and her hair is neatly tied in a flat bun. The left hand side of her tunic has slipped to her elbow. Her left arm is leant across the front of her body and grasps a fold of drapery, so forming a receptacle which is filled with a bunch of flowers. Her right arm is angled forward away from the body and holds a further posy of flowers. This piece is possibly Italian. It is raised on an English Ketton, or perhaps Silsoe, stone pedestal.
