Description: | Anglo-Saxon ? stone carved head, C. 50mm high and 30mm wide. The head is very worn but clearly shows a helmeted male. There is a raised ridge running from back from his face and a clear line indicating the edge of the helmet. He has slightly raised rounded eyes with a long narrow nose in between. Below his nose he has a thick and long 'handlebar' moustache which covers his mouth leaving only a rounded chin exposed. There is a ridge running down each side of his face which has incised lines behind, these either represent his hair or possible cheekpieces?
