Description

A worn limestone head lies turned on its side with the face pointing left, set against a dark background. A band of curled hair or helmet edge runs across the top and down the right side of the head. The surface is pitted and grey-speckled, and the print is mounted on a pale card with a handwritten number in the margin.
