Description

A stone head of a figure with a full face, wide eyes and a closed mouth, framed by long wavy hair rendered in deep carved locks on both sides and across the forehead. The surface is weathered and pitted, with chipped areas along the nose, cheek and neck, and the lower part of the neck is broken off. Pale blue-white tape or adhesive pads support the base against a plain grey backdrop.
