Description

A photograph of a head sculpture shown in profile, facing left, against a plain grey background. A raised, flat-topped headdress or crown sits above the brow, and the ear shows on the right side. The surface is pitted and weathered with darker patches, and the features (eye, straight nose, closed lips, chin) are worn but readable.
