Description

A carved limestone head with a broad face, heavy-lidded eyes, a small closed-lipped smile and wavy hair rolled over the forehead and down the sides, shown frontally on a neck above a dark block base. The top of the hair is chipped, and the nose and chin show small losses and marks. A pale margin surrounds the print against a plain grey backdrop.
