Description

A carved limestone head on a short bust, photographed against a plain grey backdrop. The hair is shown as rows of rounded curls across the forehead and top of the head. The large eyes have raised rims, and a thin raised line runs from the ear across the cheeks to the chin; the neck ends in a flat, broken base.
