Description

A carved limestone head, seen from the front and slightly turned, wears a tall headdress of rosettes and rounded motifs above a band of tightly curled hair. A long ridged tress hangs down beside the viewer's left cheek, and the eyes are large and almond-shaped under defined brows. The stone is worn, with small blue marks across the face, and the head rests on a pale block against a grey backdrop.
