Description

A carved limestone head with a rounded, flat-topped headdress decorated by a band of rosettes and a rope-like moulding above the brow. The face has heavy-lidded eyes, a broad nose, and a small closed mouth, and the ears are partly broken away. The head sits on a black cylindrical stand with a number label, against a plain pale background.
