Description

A light-coloured stone head is shown in right profile on a dark round base, with its nose, lips and chin turned toward the right edge of the frame. Rows of wavy locks cover the top and sides of the head, and a band runs through the hair above the ear, which has some chipped areas. A scale bar lies at the lower left, and a number label is printed at the lower right of the mount.
