Description

A carved head in profile facing left, photographed against a dark background. The hair is rendered in wavy, ridged locks that cover the top and back of the head, while the face is smooth and pale, with the lower edge of the face looking broken. The head is mounted on a short dark dowel above a turned pedestal of pale stone, which stands on a dark surface.
