Description

A stone head of a bearded man, shown in three-quarter side view, with the hair and beard rendered as rows of tight curls. The neck is broken off at the base and the stone rests on a white cloth, with a wooden support visible behind the break. The surface is weathered and the eye is carved as a simple almond shape.
