Description

A limestone head fragment in left profile, with closed eyes, a smooth band across the forehead and hair carved in locks swept back over the top of the head. The neck is broken off along a rough, angled edge, and the piece is set against a plain grey backdrop. The stone surface is pitted and weathered, with the nose and lips softly modelled.
