Description

A rounded limestone carving photographed against a grey backdrop. Its upper surface has radiating grooves, like hair or a cap, and a band of raised, rounded curls or ridges runs across the lower front. The lower part tapers to a point, and the stone is pitted and worn, with a chipped edge at the upper left.
