Description

A carved stone head with a broad face, heavy brows, large eyes and a set mouth, the hair arranged in rows of curls over the forehead and sides. The surface is rough and pitted with weathering, and a crack runs down the right side of the face. The head rests on a white plaster or clay base at the bottom of the frame, photographed against a plain grey backdrop.
