Carved Stone Head Sculpture french work 1970's

About the Item

Limestone sculpture of an enigmatic and highly elegant face, intricately carved, France, Circa 1970. The facial features, appearing masculine, emerge from the stone through lines that are cut in a rather graphic and streamlined manner. What makes this sculpture even more captivating is the hairstyle that crowns the head. The limestone has been sculpted in a way to create a headdress, perhaps evoking a turban or a traditional hairstyle from a bygone civilization. A one-of-a-kind piece, shrouded in mystery.
