Description

A small, roughly oval head carved in pale limestone, its surface pitted and worn. The hair is shown as a cap of incised vertical lines above a broad forehead, with rounded eyes, a short nose and a small mouth. A handwritten number card sits at the lower right of the frame, and a light scratch crosses the left cheek.
