Description

A carved limestone head and upper torso turned toward the viewer's right, with a band of tight curls across the forehead and long hair falling behind the shoulder. One arm is raised at the upper left, and a carved shape lies across the chest below the shoulder. Pale tape strips are stuck across the stone against a plain light background.
