Back of cleaned female roman bust head

Since the discovery of a set of three Roman busts at the site of the old St Mary’s Church in Stoke Mandeville, Buckinghamshire, initial conservation has been completed by L-P Archaeology, working for HS2’s Enabling Works Contractor Fusion JV. As the back of the head on the female statue was encrusted with a thick layer of soil when excavated, the cleaning process has revealed how the hairstyle has been put together.
