Description

A carved limestone head, shown frontally with the neck and a flat base visible at the bottom. The face has heavy-lidded eyes, a straight nose, a small mouth with a slight smile and a rounded chin. A row of short, regular curls frames the forehead and sides, and the surface is weathered and pitted with small blue marks.
