Description

A carved stone head with a broad face, large almond eyes and a full mouth, shown frontally against a plain grey background. Rows of curled hair frame the face under a raised headdress band, and the nose and chin are chipped. The head sits on a short neck above a flat plinth, with a carved stone block behind it.
