Description

A carved head in pale stone, shown frontally on a white plinth against a plain backdrop. The face has heavy-lidded eyes, a moustache, and a beard of rows of wavy locks, with thick curled hair at the sides. Two clusters of grapes sit on the top of the head above a band, and a scale bar runs along the bottom edge with a number label beneath it.
