Description

A stone head shown in profile facing right, set on a small square base with a metal support rod and a scale bar along its front. The hair is arranged in long rows of overlapping wavy locks down the back and sides, with a smooth band across the crown. The face is smooth, with a straight nose and a firm chin, and the lower neck ends in a broken edge above the base.
