Description

A sculpted stone head faces the camera, its wavy hair framed by a wreath of leaves. The eyes, brows and small mouth are carved in smooth, simple forms, while the nose, part of the chin and the lower neck are broken. The head stands on a square block base with a scale bar and a number label, and the print is mounted on a card with a pale border.
