Description

A photograph of a carved stone head shown in right profile against a pale backdrop. The hair falls behind the head in long, vertical grooves, and a wavy band of hair runs across the brow above the eye. The stone is weathered and rough in places, with a broken edge at the back of the head and the neck cut off by a horizontal break, resting on a plain stone base.
