Description

The head is shown in right profile, with the face turned to the right and the hair arranged in rows of rounded locks over the crown and back. The stone surface is rough and pale grey, and a dark line running down the neck and below the chin marks a join or crack filled with a bluish material. The photograph is mounted on a light card with a handwritten number in the lower right corner.
