Description

A carved limestone head and upper neck, turned in three-quarter profile to the left and set on a dark square base. The hair is combed in grooved strands, with a raised band with rounded forms across the top and locks falling beside the ear. The face has a heavy-lidded eye, a straight nose and a small mouth, and the surface is pitted and weathered.
