Description

A limestone head shown in side view with the face turned to the right, standing on a dark cylindrical base against a plain grey backdrop. The hair over the crown has fine incised wavy lines, with rounded curls or rosette-like forms lying above the brow and ear. The surface is rough and pitted in places, and the face at the right edge looks worn.
