Description

A carved stone head with closed, heavy-lidded eyes and a faint smile, wearing a headdress with rows of incised ridges and a central peak. The nose is chipped and the head breaks off just below the chin at the neck. It is photographed frontally against a plain grey backdrop and mounted on a light card with handwritten notes along the bottom edge.
