Description: | This object is a simplistic, larger than life size representation of a head. The nose has been modelled whereas the mouth and eyes are defined by incised grooves. The object has been roughly cut from alabaster and has an uneven texture. The stone is light brown in colour, characterised by natural verins and patches of both darker and lighter colours. A red-brown pigment has been applied to the head to represent hair, oulined by an engraved line. Traces of pigment can also be found covering the eyes and mouth. A large proportion of the nose is missing and a number of chips cover the surface.
