Description

A limestone head with a tall, pointed cap covering the top of the skull, a brow ridge, uneven eyes, a nose, and a mouth; the lower left side of the face is broken away. The head is photographed frontally against a plain grey backdrop, with its neck and a rough, flat shoulder piece below. The surface is weathered and granular, and the head rests on a small block base with a handwritten number label.
