Description

A side view of a limestone statue showing the head and upper torso against a plain grey backdrop. The head wears a tall cap-like headdress that rises above the forehead and slopes back, with a large ear and an almond-shaped eye in profile. The stone surface is pitted and slightly worn, and the nose and chin are intact.
