This carved marble head I purchased from the estate of an artist and great collector in my neck of the woods, but know nothing of where it came from; the face looks perhaps African American to me, but I really don't know for sure. Whatever the case, he feels a quiet and a bit shy and forever elusive in a very good way to to me.
5 3/4" t x 4 1/8" w x 4 1/4" d, weighs just over 5 pounds. Overall good condition, no chips or cracks. A bit of orange-ing to the stone here and there, and some dark spots in the crevices on the top of the head (hair.)
