Description

A head sculpture in pale stone, shown frontally on a plain white plinth against a grey backdrop. The face has a broad forehead, a straight nose now chipped, and a mouth with closed lips; the eye sockets are empty holes. Short curled locks frame the forehead and ears, and a scale bar with a number label sits on the plinth below the chin.
