Description

A rough limestone fragment, broken at the base and along one side, shows a head with wavy hair combed in grooved strands across the top and a spiral curl beside the face. The surface is pitted and worn, and a rounded form on the right may be an ear or cheek. It is photographed frontally against a plain grey backdrop.
