Description

A carved head seen in profile facing right, with the neck cut off flat at the base. The hair is shown as rows of wavy incised lines over the top and back of the skull, with clusters of rounded curls above the ear. The rough, pitted surface is smoother on the face, and dark cloth is visible below the neck against a plain grey backdrop.
