Description

A carved stone head with wavy hair in rows over the forehead and drawn back toward the ears. The face is heavily weathered, with the eyes, nose and lower face eroded and chipped, and the neck is broken off at the base. It stands on a draped pale cloth over a dusty surface, with a small paper tag at the broken neck and a handwritten mark at the lower edge.
