Description

A carved limestone head of a bearded male with a full beard of rows of rounded knobs, heavy-lidded eyes and a closed mouth. A wide band encircles the top of the head, and the neck stump is visible below. A small number label is attached to the base of the neck, and the head stands on a dark plinth against a plain grey backdrop.
