Description

A broken stone head shown from the front against a plain pale background. A deep, hood-like headdress frames the face, which has heavy eyelids, a straight nose and a small mouth, while the surface is chipped and worn. Below the face a rough broken lower section rests on two rectangular stone blocks that hold the piece up.
