Iron Age stone head
A water-rolled pebble with a face carved in low relief on one of the flattened surfaces. It has small lentoid eyes, which have the appearance of being half closed, a wedge-shaped nose, a slightly upturned mouth with a prominent lower lip, and a small projecting chin. There is no indication of any hair or the ears. The features have been worn by the flow of water.
