Description

A photograph of a carved limestone head shown in profile, facing left against a plain dark backdrop. The forehead is framed by a band of vertical grooves, and a carved row of leaves runs over the top of the head toward the back, where the hair is a smooth mass. A pale cord or strap passes around the neck to hold the piece in place.
