Description

A broken fragment of a carved head in profile, facing left, with a straight nose, full lips and a rounded chin. A raised band runs across the top of the head, and a small ear is shown at the side. The edges are rough and broken, the surface is pitted, and the head is set on a thin metal rod against a plain pale background.
