Description

Close-up photograph of a sculpted head wearing a ridged cap above rows of curled locks at the forehead and sides, with a curled beard along the jaw. The eyes are outlined in relief, the nose and cheek are chipped, and the neck breaks away at the bottom. The grey-brown surface stands out against a dark brick wall behind.
