Description

A head carved in pale stone, shown in right profile on a square plinth, with curled hair combed over the brow and ears and a full beard worked in deep wavy strands. The neck ends in a rough break, and small dark marks are visible on the neck. A scale bar and a number label sit at the base against a grey backdrop, on a photo card with a pale border.
