Description

A limestone head sculpture shown in profile facing left, with closed eyes, a straight nose and full lips. The hair is carved in close parallel grooves swept back from the brow, with a raised band or leaf-like ornament above the ear. The neck is cut off flat at the base, and the head rests on a small dark stand on a pale surface; the stone surface is pitted and worn.
