Description

A carved stone head of a man with short, curly hair, shown in right profile with a prominent nose and firm mouth. The broken base of the neck rests on a pale support, with a segmented scale bar in front of it against a plain grey backdrop. The surface looks worn in places, and the hair is cut in tight waves over the crown and above the ear.
