Description

A limestone head fragment on a plain grey backdrop, seen from the front and slightly turned. Wavy ridged bands and fan-like grooves run across the top of the head above the forehead. The large almond-shaped eyes are heavy-lidded, the nose is broken away, and the chin and lower face are chipped and rough.
