Description

A carved stone head of a bearded man with short, curled hair projects from a block beneath a moulded cornice of several rounded and flat bands. A diagonal crack runs across the top of the head and the block, and the surface is flaking in places. Shoulders and chest continue below the head and merge into the stone behind it.
