Description, scan 2: A small head-shaped sculpture is shown alone against a plain grey ground. The face has large round eyes set in raised rims, a broad flattened nose area and a wide mouth with a row of square teeth. Several projections rise from the top of the head, the tallest one in the centre, and the rough surface looks worn and pitted.
