Description

A pale stone head turned to the right in profile, with a wreath of carved leaves over the top and back of the head and rows of tight curls falling above the neck. The head has a broken, rough lower edge and stands on a plain rectangular plinth against a grey backdrop. A scale bar and a number label are placed on the plinth in front, and the photograph is mounted on a pale card with a narrow border.
