Description

A limestone head photographed face-on against a pale card. A thick band or wreath with rounded forms lies over the forehead, and hair falls in curled locks at both sides. The almond-shaped eyes, small mouth and rounded chin are clear, with a necklace of ridged beads below, and the surface is pitted and weathered in places.
