Description

A carved stone relief shows a woman's head and upper body in close view, her wavy hair framed by a veil that falls over her shoulders and a drop earring hanging from one ear. Her garment has close vertical folds, and at the right edge part of a second carved figure appears, with a hand resting near her arm. The rough background shows fine tool marks, and a number label sits in the lower right corner.
