A carved limestone head of a figure, shown front-on with the neck cut off flat and set on a dark stand against a plain grey background. The hair is combed in wavy bands across the forehead and swept back over the ears, with a deep groove at the crown. The almond-shaped eyes are heavy-lidded and the mouth has a slight smile, and the granular stone surface is visible throughout.
