Description

Front view of a carved limestone head with a broad face, wide almond-shaped eyes with incised lids, and a thick beard of tight curls. The hair is arranged in rows of curls under a band with rolled, leaf-like ornament along the top. The head rises from a short neck and shoulder stub, set on a stepped stone plinth with a number label, against a plain black background.
