Description

A sculpted head in a pale grey stone, turned three-quarters to the viewer, with long wavy hair falling in deep ridged locks on both sides. The face has heavy-lidded eyes, a straight nose broken along one side, and a closed mouth; the surface is worn and pitted. The neck ends in a broken base, and a rough fragment of stone is visible at the right edge.
