Description

A worked stone head of a woman, shown in three-quarter view on a dark rectangular base. The hair is combed in wavy bands over the forehead and ears, with a long curl falling beside the face. A tall, ridged headdress rises above the hair, and the nose and part of the face show surface damage and pitting.
