Description

Frontal view of a limestone head with a broken nose and a chipped mouth and beard. The hair is cut in rows of tight curls over the forehead and sides, and a wide band with ridged, leaf-like projections rises above them. The eyes have outlined lids, and the neck ends in a rough break; the head is shown on a card with a pale border.
