Description

A stone sculpture of a head and upper torso, photographed frontally against a plain grey background. The head wears a tall, tapering conical cap, and the face has heavy brows, a broad nose and full lips, with ears at the sides. The surface is pitted and weathered, with a few light scratches on the cap, and the lower body is cut off by the bottom edge of the frame.
