Description

A carved stone head of a human figure, shown front-on against a pale backdrop with its neck and a small base area below. The face has heavy brow ridges, almond-shaped eyes, a broad nose that is partly worn, and a closed mouth; the hair is shown as short, textured locks over the forehead and sides. The surface is pitted and eroded across the whole piece.
