Description

A carved head of a man with short, curled hair, the face turned toward the camera and the neck cut flat at the base. It rests on a pale surface with a scale bar placed in front of it. The smooth stone shows modelled brows, eyes and mouth, set against a plain grey backdrop on a light mount.
