A stunningly textured basalt with incredibly emotive features, carved eyes, a nose, broken off at the bulb, a crown carved in the round - with its most striking featuring being its elongated, beak like face. Likely an implement mounted surrounding a stone ritual altar. A beautifully striking and truly evocative carving, speaking to the rituals of the Neolithic world.
