A worn, pitted stone head wearing a close-fitting cap or helmet-like covering over the brow and ears, with large hollow eye sockets and a damaged nose. The lips curve slightly and the head rests on a short neck above a dark base. Behind it stands a dark cabinet with rows of small objects on its shelves.
