Description

A carved stone head with curling locks framing the face and leaf-like forms rising above the brow, shown against a plain grey backdrop. The nose and parts of the cheeks are chipped, and the neck ends in a rough broken edge. The head stands on a rectangular block that carries a scale bar and a number label, and the print is mounted on a card with handwritten notes beneath.
