Description

A stone head shown in right profile, with textured short hair, a modelled ear, nose and chin, and a neck cut off flat at the base. It stands on a short pale pedestal with a thin metal rod support, and a scale bar and a number label are fixed to the front of the pedestal. A plain grey backdrop fills the rest of the frame, and the print sits on a card with a wide border.
