Description

A carved stone head shown in profile facing left, with wavy locks of hair swept back over the ear and a raised band across the crown. The surface is pitted and worn in places, especially on the cheek and chin. The head stands on a plain block base with a scale bar and a number label in front, against a plain grey backdrop on a light card border.
