Description

A head carved in limestone, with a rounded cap or helmet-like covering crossed by a raised band, a modelled ear and a long, straight nose. The surface is rough and weathered, and the lower edge of the neck is broken off. It is shown on a pale plinth, with a thin metal rod support visible beneath the head against a dark background.
