Description

A carved head with short, curled hair bound by a wreath of leaves, shown in profile on a square plinth. The face has a straight nose, closed eyes and full lips, and the neck ends in a rough break. A metric scale bar and a number label reading E505 are set against the plinth, with a plain grey backdrop behind.
