Description

A stone head of a man with short, curled hair, deep-set eyes and a broken nose, facing the camera. The head is held on a thin rod above a rectangular block base, with a measuring scale bar and a number label on the front of the base. The plain grey backdrop keeps the focus on the sculpted face.
