Description

Close-up photograph of a limestone head and upper neck turned to the right in profile. The hair is swept back in long grooved locks, with a band or headdress across the top and a large curled mass of hair over the ear. The surface is pitted and worn, with chipped areas at the back of the hair and along the neck, against a pale grey backdrop.
