Description

A carved stone head with short, tightly curled hair over the forehead and ears, heavy-lidded eyes and a full mouth. The surface is chipped in places, and the neck ends in a rough break above a small dark support rod. The head stands on a pale plinth with a scale bar and a number label on its front, against a plain grey backdrop.
