Description

A carved limestone head with heavy-lidded eyes, a straight nose and a small mouth. Its hair rises in a thick band of rounded curls over the forehead, with a tiered headdress above. The neck ends in a flat, broken base on a pale surface, with a patch of white adhesive at the break; a dark shadow falls across the lower face.
