A crow-stepped gable with larger than life-sized allegorical figure at the apex, standing on a two-stage pedestal buttressed by a pair of detached volutes. The pose suggests supplication with hands clasped and face upturned but there is nothing to suggest a specific meaning. The figure is dressed in a classical robe reminiscent of a Greek chiton, fastened at the shoulder and falling in deep folds to her feet. The building was originally the British Linen Company Bank.
