Description

A carved stone head and upper bust of a woman, seen from the front against a pale grey backdrop. Wavy rows of hair frame the forehead, and a veil falls behind the head to the shoulders, with earrings visible at both ears. The nose is chipped, and the surface shows dark stains and losses.
