Description

A carved head of a young figure, shown in profile facing left, with short curls set in rows over the forehead and a band around the head. The stone is worn, with the nose and lips weathered and the back of the head and neck left rough. The head rests on a plain square plinth, and a measuring scale bar and a number label are fixed to its front.
