Description

A carved stone head from a statue, shown close up and turned slightly to the side, with the neck broken off in a rough edge at the bottom. The hair is combed in wavy bands over the forehead and down past the ears, and the eyes, closed mouth and rounded chin are clearly modelled. The stone surface is pitted and grainy, and the print is mounted on a card with a pale border.
