Description

A limestone head with a rounded, broad skull and a heavy brow, the eyes shown as narrow carved lines. The face is worn and a crack runs across the forehead. A carved ear-like form with incised lines sits on the left side, and the head rests on a short neck above a flat base, photographed against a plain pale background.
