Description

A carved stone head with short hair arranged in rows of curls and spiral locks, the face turned to the left. The nose, parts of the face and the chin are worn or broken, and the neck ends flat at the base. The head stands on a plain rectangular block with a scale bar and a small number card in front, against a plain grey backdrop, and a small dark object lies at the right edge.
