Description

Close view of a limestone head and upper shoulders against a pale background. The eyes are heavy-lidded, the nose broad and the mouth small, and the hair is shown in ridged bands across the top. The stone is rough and weathered, with a broken area at the lower right of the shoulder, and a blue horizontal line crosses the neck.
