Description

A frontal view of a limestone head and upper torso, with almond-shaped eyes, a straight nose and a closed-lipped mouth. The head wears a ridged band across the forehead, and hair falls down behind the ears onto the shoulders. The surface is pale grey with worn, pitted patches, shown against a plain grey backdrop.
