Description

A carved limestone head with a tall, pointed cap that rises to a peak above the forehead. The face has heavy-lidded eyes, a broad nose, a closed smiling mouth and projecting ears, with a short neck stump below. The surface is pitted and weathered, and the head stands on a blue-painted base against a plain grey backdrop.
