Description

Front view of a limestone head shown in a grey photograph mounted on a card with a pale border. The head wears a thick band or roll of hair across the forehead, with hair falling at the sides, and has almond-shaped eyes with heavy lids and a faint smile. The stone is worn, with small chips on the left cheek and a broken lower edge at the neck, and the head rests on a grey stone base.
