Description

Front view of a limestone head with a broad face, almond-shaped eyes, a small smiling mouth and a short neck cut off flat at the base. Thick wavy locks of hair frame the forehead and run down the sides of the head. The surface is pitted and grainy, a small blue-grey label is stuck on the neck, and the head is shown against a plain grey backdrop.
