Description

A grey photograph of a sculpted head seen in profile, facing right. The head has a beard, a prominent nose and an ear, and wears a band around the brow with several raised leaf-like shapes. The back of the head rises as a tall, rounded, rough-surfaced mass, and the head stands on a plain base against a pale backdrop.
