Description

A carved stone head shown frontally on a plain grey ground, with a tall cap-like headdress edged by a raised band of ornament across the forehead. The eyes are downcast with heavy lids, the mouth is full, and the surface is rough and pitted, with the tip of the nose worn. The neck ends in a broken base with a torn white label along the bottom edge.
