Description

A carved limestone head and upper torso of a statue, shown frontally against a plain grey backdrop. The face has large almond-shaped eyes, a straight nose with a chipped tip, and a closed, slightly smiling mouth. The hair is arranged in rows of tight curls over the forehead, with a raised band above, and the neck and start of the shoulders are visible with some surface wear.
