Description

A large limestone head stands upright on a sheet of white paper against a grey backdrop. Its rounded top has a raised horizontal band across the upper part, and the face below has two eye-like hollows and a worn, uneven surface pitted with small holes. Faint blue marks show on the stone, and a small broken stone fragment rests against the right side of the base.
