Description

A carved stone head with a broad, smooth face, large almond-shaped eyes and a small mouth, its hair arranged in rows of curls with a band of leaves across the top. The neck ends in a broken edge, and the head is held on a thin rod above a white plinth. A scale bar and a number label sit on the plinth in front, and the photograph is mounted on a pale card with a border.
