Description

A close photograph of a limestone statue head and the top of its shoulders, turned slightly to the right with the eyes lowered. The head wears a band carved with leaves over the top and a ribbed band across the forehead, and the hair falls in a mass behind the ear. The stone looks worn and greyish, the shoulders are cut off by the bottom edge, and a handwritten blue number sits in the top left corner.
