Description

A carved stone head in left-facing profile, its neck broken off at the base, set on a rectangular plinth. Tight curls cover the forehead and sides above the ear, and a band runs over the top of the head. The face is worn, with the nose and lips eroded, and a scale bar and number label sit on the plinth against a plain grey backdrop.
