Description

A carved stone head turned slightly toward the viewer, with a high headdress of rosettes, leaf forms and ridged bands above the brow. Curled locks hang beside the cheek above a ring earring, and a band of ridges runs below the chin. The face is worn, with a chipped nose and losses, and the head rests on a plain pale support against a grey background.
