A pale stone human head with a broad, smooth crown, a chipped nose and mottled dark patches across the face, shown against a plain black background. A short neck and upper chest rise from a square block base, and a metal plaque is fixed to the front of the base. The eyes are deep-set under heavy lids and the mouth is closed.
