Description

A carved limestone head shown in right-facing profile against a plain light backdrop, set on a stone base. The headdress is built up with rounded rosettes and leaf-like forms, and the hair falls in ridged locks with a coiled curl near the ear. The surface is weathered and slightly pitted, and the photograph is mounted on a pale card.
