Description

A carved stone head with a rounded, pitted and weathered surface, photographed on a plain pale background. The face has heavy-lidded eyes, a broad nose, a small mouth and full cheeks, while the hair is rendered as thick ridged waves swept back over the top and sides. The head ends in a flat, roughly broken neck at the base.
