Description

A stone head shown in right-facing profile against a plain grey background. A raised band runs diagonally across the hair from the brow towards the back of the head, with incised strands along the temple and a broken, ridged top edge. The surface is pitted and weathered, and the back of the head and the lower neck are broken away.
