Description

A pale limestone head and upper bust, shown frontally against a dark grey backdrop. A rounded cap with vertical ridges and a raised band across the forehead covers the head, and locks of hair fall beside the face to the shoulders. The eyes have raised rims, the nose is worn, and the surface is pitted with dark specks.
