Description

A sculpted head with short, tightly curled hair, a straight nose, full cheeks and a small mouth, shown from the front. The pale stone is worn and chipped near the jaw, and the head ends in a plain neck resting on a black base. A small number label is attached to the neck, and handwritten notes sit on the card mount beneath the print.
