Description

A pale marble head fragment is shown face-on against a dark background, with the brow, eye, straight nose and full lips still visible. The rough broken edges run along the top and back of the head, and the stone surface is speckled with dark spots and soil stains. The print sits on a light grey card with cut corners.
