Description

A carved stone head shown in profile, facing left, with a long nose, heavy-lidded eyes and a moustache above a beard of rows of ridged curls. The top of the head has a broken, rough-edged cap or headdress, and the lower neck is broken away. The head stands on pale stone blocks against a plain grey background.
