Description

A limestone head shown in right profile, its hair rising in a thick, curled roll at the back and rows of wavy locks over the brow and ear. A disc earring hangs below the ear, and the face is worn, especially around the mouth and chin. The head rests on a white block plinth with a painted number label, against a plain grey background.
