Description

A carved limestone head with a flat-topped headdress framing the face, heavy-lidded almond eyes and ears shown at the sides. The nose is broken away, and a crack runs across the lower face and neck. The head stands on a dark wooden block against a plain grey backdrop, with a number label on the base.
