Description

A carved limestone head turned slightly toward the viewer's left, wearing a wide cylindrical headdress with a fluted dome above and a band of carved rosettes and small motifs below. Rows of curled hair show at the forehead, and a braid hangs down on the viewer's right beside the shoulder. The face has a straight nose, full lips and heavy-lidded eyes, and the surface is worn in places.
