Description

A carved head in pale stone with short curled locks over the forehead and around the ears, large heavy-lidded eyes and a full chin. The surface is worn and pitted, and the neck ends in a rough break set on a square block base. A scale bar with a number label stands on the block in front of the head, against a plain grey backdrop.
