Description: | This object is a detailed representation of the head of Christ. The top of the neck and collar of a garment are shown although this ends abruptly. The back of the head and neck have been flattened. The facial features have been modelled so as to appear naturalistic. The eyes are defined by a hole in the centre of each eyeball. Engraved lines represent arched brows. A beard and moustache are defined by engraved grooves. Grooves also define the hair forming bands which have then been segmented to produced a textured effect. The object is made from light brown stone which has a matt surface and is rough in texture. The nose and left ear have been damaged. A number of chips cover the surface exposing the lighter colour of the material underneath.
