Description

A carved stone head with a large, rough-surfaced headdress over the brow and a curled hairstyle falling at the sides of the face. The face has heavy-lidded eyes, a straight nose now chipped, and a closed mouth, with traces of blue pigment and worn surface. The head sits on a plain stepped base, shown in a close frontal view.
