Description

A carved limestone head shown frontally against a dark background. The head wears a wide band with a row of small round studs above the brow and a rounded, leaf-like ornament across the top. The face has heavy eyelids, a straight prominent nose with a chipped tip, and a slight smile; the neck ends in a rough, broken edge.
