Fragmentary limestone relief depicting a ram's head.
The artifact is a fragmentary limestone relief showing the head of a ram, possibly part of a larger scene or structure. The composition highlights the detailed carving typical of religious or funerary art. While the ram is well-defined, the background and any peripheral elements are missing, suggesting this was part of a larger piece. It rests on a modern mount for display purposes.
