Description

A carved stone head with rows of rounded, spiral curls over the forehead and sides. The nose, mouth and chin are chipped and worn, and the pale surface looks weathered. The head sits on a neck stub on a white rectangular base, beside a scale bar and a number label, against a plain grey backdrop.
