Description

A carved stone head of a statue shown straight on, with a pitted, weathered surface. The hair is drawn back over the top of the head and sides, the eyes are deep-set with heavy lids, and the nose and mouth are worn. The plain neck ends abruptly at the base, and the photograph is mounted on a pale card with a wide border.
