Description: "This finely carved head was discovered in excavations in 2019. Although it has suffered some damage, the crown, wavy hair and most of the facial features are in excellent condition. The hairstyle and narrow crown indicate that this is probably a statue of a woman. She could be a queen or princess, or a representation of the Virgin Mary, the Queen of Heaven. The statue dates to the mid-14th century.
