Description

A carved limestone head with a rounded face, almond-shaped eyes, a closed-lipped smile and a band of curled locks and leaf-like shapes across the brow and over the ears. The head sits on a dark cylindrical stand with a number label on its base, against a plain black backdrop. The surface shows light wear and a small dark speck on the chin.
