Description

The head is shown frontally against a pale grey backdrop, resting on a light ledge. It has short curly hair over the forehead and ears, a broad brow, a straight nose, closed lips and a heavy jaw. A scale bar lies on the ledge in front of it, and the photograph is mounted on a card with a handwritten number.
