Description

Photograph of a limestone sculpture of a head and neck, shown from the front against a plain grey backdrop. The head wears a tall, pointed cap above a broad face with narrowed eyes, a short nose and a wide smile, and the ears project on each side. The neck runs down to a pale band near the bottom edge, where the print is mounted on a card with handwritten notes.
