Description

A carved stone head of a figure, shown in three-quarter view with a rounded face, a large almond-shaped eye with a raised lid, and a pitted, weathered surface. The hair is rendered as rough, mass-like curls around the top and side, and the neck ends in a flat broken base resting on a pale support. The face is worn, with the nose and mouth area badly eroded.
