Description

The head is shown in profile facing right against a plain grey background, with a short neck below. The hair is worked in ridged locks swept back from the brow and down the side of the head, the eye is deeply set with a defined lid, and the mouth is full. The top and back of the head are broken away, and the neck ends in a rough break.
