Description

A carved stone head shown frontally and slightly turned on a dark square base. It has a straight nose, full lips and downcast eyes, with a curled lock of hair beside the face on the viewer's left, and a smooth, thick band covers the top of the head and falls behind it. The back hair is rough and deeply cut, and cracks and flaking mark the surface, especially on the right side of the face.
