Description

A carved limestone head seen in profile facing right, with a headdress or swept-back hair that has raised folds and a raised top. The face has a straight nose, full lips and a pronounced chin, and the surface is worn and pitted. The neck ends in a rough break and sits on a dark grey cylindrical stand, with a white adhesive pad at the join.
