Description

A carved stone head shown in profile, facing right, with wavy locks of hair over the brow and a rounded ear. The eye has a clearly outlined lid, the nose and lips are sharply modelled, and the surface is pitted and weathered. The head sits on a dark wooden base supported by a thin metal rod against a plain grey background.
