Description

A carved limestone head, with a block base below, shown in three-quarter view against a plain pale background. The head wears a close-fitting cap with a raised band across the forehead and a dense pattern of small raised dots on its upper part. The eyes and mouth are carved in clear outline, the ears are large and projecting, and handwritten notes run along the bottom edge of the mounted print.
