Description

A broken fragment of a carved face, shown flat against a grey backdrop and mounted with a pale border. An almond-shaped eye with a raised rim sits at upper left, and a curled ear appears at right. A beard of closely set parallel ridges runs down the right side and along the bottom, while the top and left edges are rough and broken.
