Description

A head sculpture photographed straight on against a pale backdrop, with large rounded eyes, a broad nose, a moustache and a short beard with a pitted surface. The hair is a smooth band framing the forehead and sides of the head. A crack runs diagonally across the cheek and beard, and the lower edge of the head is broken.
