Description

A carved stone head, shown frontally against a black background, with a broad face, narrow closed eyes, and a slight smile. The head wears a cap-like covering with vertical ridges and a band of curled locks above the brow, and long, ridged hair and a textured beard fall to the shoulders. The surface is worn and the nose and lower features appear slightly eroded.
