Description

A carved stone head of a man with short, tightly curled hair, a full curly beard and deep-set eyes, shown from a three-quarter view on a textured cloth surface. The neck is cut off flat at the base, and the surface shows wear and small chips. The dark background makes the lit face and hair stand out.
