Description

A limestone head from a statue, shown in profile facing left on a plain block base. It wears a tall cylindrical headdress with a relief band of round motifs and carved figures around its lower edge. Below the band, the hair is rendered as rows of square-patterned curls with a large looped curl falling behind the ear, and the weathered surface is pitted with some blue pencil marks.
