Description

A carved stone head turned to the right in profile, with hair arranged in rows of wavy curls and a ridged band across the top. It stands on a block base, with a short support rod visible beneath the neck. A scale bar and a number label are placed on the base in front of it, and the print sits on a pale card mount.
