Description

A carved limestone head of a bearded man wearing a tall, pointed cap with a row of rounded curls along the brow. The face has heavy-lidded eyes, a moustache and a curled beard arranged in rows, and a faint smile; long curls fall behind the ears. The head is shown frontally with a broken lower neck, on a black cylindrical stand with a number label, against a plain grey backdrop.
