Description

A carved stone head of a woman with wavy hair drawn back from the forehead and gathered into a raised topknot at the crown. The face has heavy-lidded eyes, a straight nose and a small mouth, and the surface shows cracks and chips, with a break across the neck. The head sits on a short rectangular base with a stub of the neck below, with a scale bar and a number label along the bottom edge.
