Description

Carved stone female head in three-quarter view against a plain light background, on a mounted card with a border. The eyes are almond-shaped under defined lids, the hair is waved in bands over the brow and drawn back beside the ear, and a covering falls behind the head. The surface is pitted and chipped, with the nose, cheek and chin worn, and the neck broken off at the bottom of the frame.
