Description

A carved limestone head with a band of ridged headdress above the forehead and rounded forms along the top edge. The face has heavy-lidded eyes, a straight nose and a small closed mouth, and the head rests on a short neck above a fragment of drapery with vertical folds. The object is shown frontally against a plain grey background, and the print sits on a card with a thin border and a small number label at the lower edge.
