Description

Close frontal photograph of a head carved in stone, shown against a plain grey background. The face has heavy-lidded eyes, a short nose and closed lips, and the hair rises in a thick mass above the forehead and falls to one side. The surface is pitted and eroded, and the head is cut off just below the neck.
