Description

A carved limestone head seen in profile, facing left, with a wide flat band across the forehead and short locks of hair over the brow. The tall cylindrical headdress above is roughly worked, and the stone surface is grainy and weathered. The head rests on a pale plinth, with a thin wooden support rod visible at the lower right.
