Description

A carved stone head of a figure with a broad face, almond-shaped eyes, a small straight nose and a closed mouth, with the hair drawn in rows of waves over the forehead and down the sides. The head sits on a plain neck and a block-like base, and the stone surface is pitted and worn, with a bluish mark on the forehead and some losses around the chin. A small handwritten label is written on the base.
