Description

A front view of a sculpted limestone head with a flat headdress of raised bands over the forehead, heavy-lidded eyes, a straight nose and a small mouth. Side flaps of the headdress hang beside the ears, and the surface is pitted and weathered. The head stands on a short cylindrical neck and a rectangular base against a black background.
