Description

A carved stone head, apparently seen from behind, with hair rendered as wavy parallel ridges across the crown and a lower tier of rounded curls around the neck. The head sits on a square pale plinth, with a scale bar and a small number label placed in front of it. The plain grey backdrop is out of focus, and the stone surface shows some wear and weathering.
