Description

A sculpted head in pale stone, shown in profile facing left against a dark background. The hair is arranged in rows of rounded curls, each with a small central hollow, and a wavy lock hangs down the neck at the right. The base of the neck ends in a rough, broken edge, and a pale retouched outline traces the edge of the sculpture.
