Description

A limestone bust of a figure shown from the shoulders up, photographed against a plain grey backdrop. The head wears a close-fitting cap with ridged bands, with locks falling beside the face, and the eyes are downcast. A two-strand necklace crosses the chest toward a hand raised at the breast, and the lower edge is broken and the surface weathered.
