Description

A photograph of a carved stone head and upper shoulders, shown against a black background. The head wears a close-fitting cap or hair band with raised ridges across the top, and the eyes are lowered with a faint smile. The ear is modelled in relief, and a pale smudge or retouching mark appears along the left edge.
