Description

A carved stone head in profile, facing left, with a pale weathered surface and chipped areas on the nose and chin. A veil or hood falls behind it in long vertical folds, and a row of wavy curls shows at the forehead above the eye. The head sits on a short neck and a flat base, photographed against a plain grey backdrop.
