Description

A carved stone head of a man, photographed against a plain grey background with its broken neck end on a short vertical stand at the bottom. The face has a broad nose, a firm closed mouth, heavy-lidded eyes and short hair in curled locks over the forehead and ears. The surface is weathered and granular, with a few light spots and a chipped edge at the neck.
