Description

A carved limestone head with a tall, layered headdress of rounded segments above a raised band across the brow. The large almond-shaped eyes, straight nose and small mouth are worn, and the surface is pitted. The broken neck rests on a dark round stand, with a pale strip of material at its base, against a plain grey background.
