Description

A small limestone head, shown in three-quarter view turned to the right, with a raised band across the top of the head and hair falling behind the ears. The eyes are lowered, the nose and lips are clearly modelled, and the surface is pitted and speckled. The rough, broken base of the neck rests on a pale card against a plain grey backdrop.
