Description

A photograph of a carved stone head shown in profile, facing left, on a square block base. The hair is rendered in fine, wavy incised rows over the crown and behind the ear, and the face has a rounded chin and a straight nose, with part of the surface worn and pitted. The head rests on a short neck above the rectangular base against a plain pale backdrop.
