Description

A carved stone head with short, curled hair and a band or wreath across the top, set on a metal rod above a pale stepped base. The face has large lidded eyes and a straight nose with its tip broken away, and there are chipped areas on the cheeks. A scale bar and a number label sit on the base, against a plain grey backdrop.
