Description

A carved limestone head seen in profile, facing left, with a pitted and worn surface. The hair is arranged in rows of tight curls above the forehead and over the ear, with longer locks falling behind to the neck. The head ends in a rough-cut neck set on a plain cylindrical stand against a dark background.
