Description

A carved stone head of a bearded male figure is shown in a three-quarter view against a pale backdrop. The hair and full beard are rendered in deep curls, the brow and eyes stand out in relief, and the mouth is slightly open. The surface is heavily pitted and worn, and the head ends in a rough, flat-cut base resting on a light surface.
