Description

A carved limestone head of a figure, shown frontally on a dark cylindrical stand with a number label in the lower right. The hair is rendered as tight parallel grooves framing the forehead and ears, with almond-shaped eyes and a small curved smile. The neck is cut off flat at the bottom and the surface is weathered and slightly chipped, especially at the chin.
