Description

A carved stone head of a woman with full, wavy hair pulled back over the ears and a long, rounded face with heavy-lidded eyes and a small mouth. The head is broken off at the neck, with a rough lower edge, and it sits on a square base with a short rod support. A scale bar and a number label are placed on the base in front.
