Description

A carved stone head with a broad face, large eyes with thick raised lids, a straight nose and a small closed mouth. Rows of short carved locks frame each side of the face, and a band crosses the neck. Traces of blue paint show on the cheeks and chin, and the head is photographed frontally against a plain pale background with a rough stone block below.
