Description

A carved limestone head in right-facing profile stands on a dark cylindrical base against a grey backdrop. The head wears a tall, rounded headdress with a raised knob at the back, and the face shows a long straight nose, a narrow eye and small closed lips. The stone surface is rough and weathered, and the neck ends in a broken base.
