Description

A sculpted stone head shown in profile facing right, with hair arranged in wavy ridges over the top and a small knot at the crown. The head rests on a short neck above a rough stone block base, which has a small label on its front. The plain grey backdrop and the card border around the print show it is a studio photograph of the object.
