Description

A sculpted head of a bearded man, shown in right profile on a square white plinth. The curly hair is combed forward and the beard is rendered in short, textured curls, with a worn break at the base of the neck. A measuring scale bar and a small number label are fixed to the front of the plinth, against a plain grey backdrop.
