Description

A pale stone female head with large almond-shaped eyes, a small mouth and a tall, carved headdress decorated with rosettes and leaf-like pattern. The head sits on a rectangular block neck and a plinth, and the plain grey background sets off its surface, which shows some pitting and wear. The photograph is a close frontal view of the sculpture.
