Description

A face in relief, with short hair, heavy brows, wide eyes and a slight smile, is carved on a flat stone block. Stylised rows of overlapping scales or feathers spread out on either side of the head, and the block sits above a dark opening. The image is a grey-toned print with a mount border.
