Description

A weathered limestone head shown in right-facing profile, with a flat, wide cap-like top, a projecting ear and a strong nose and chin. The surface is pitted and rough, and the base of the neck is broken away, leaving pale exposed stone. It is photographed against a plain pale background on a light paper mount.
