Description

A bearded head with a moustache, a wide pointed beard and an almond-shaped eye, seen from the front and right. A band of rounded curls runs across the forehead and above the ear, and the large ear is modelled in detail. The grey-buff surface shows wear and small chips, and the neck is cut off at the bottom of the frame.
