Description

A large sculpted head wearing a helmet, shown in right profile, made of a pale, porous material with a pitted surface. The helmet's crest and brim are broken at the edges, and the neck ends in a rough cut. The head stands on a dark rectangular base on a light table, with a dark shelf holding small objects and a small bust in the background.
