Description

A small head shown frontally, with a rounded face, a straight nose, lips and a rounded chin. The hair forms a mass of pitted, roughened surface over the top and sides of the head, and a small knob rises from the crown. A crack runs down the right side of the face, and the surface is worn; it is photographed on a grey ground with a cream card mount.
