Description

The head is shown frontally against a plain grey backdrop, resting on a dark cylindrical base marked with a number label. It wears a rounded cap with a knob on top and a row of rounded beads along the brow. The beard is carved with spiral curls, and the eyes have heavy lids; the surface is weathered, with wear around the nose and cheek.
