Description

A carved limestone head with closed eyes, a small mouth and hair shown as rows of curls over the forehead and rising in a tiered band above. The nose, cheek and chin are chipped and worn, with a dark patch on the lower face, and the neck ends in a broken edge. The head stands on a dark stand with a pale strip, against a plain grey backdrop.
