Description

A carved head with a rounded face, wavy hair in curls across the forehead and over the ears, and a short neck. It stands on a tall cylindrical support on a rectangular plinth, with a scale bar and a number label on the plinth in front. The plain grey backdrop is empty, and the surface is worn, especially around the nose and chin.
