Description

A limestone head with a short neck, photographed straight on against a plain pale background. The eyes are lowered to narrow almond shapes, the nose is straight and the mouth small and closed. The hair is rendered as a cap of horizontal bands framing the forehead, and the surface is pitted and weathered, with a dark stain on the brow.
