This boldly defined and expressive left-profile face looks down towards the south.   It is so clear that it is plainly visible from the road. Photographing at night allowed me to light the carving to show the deliberate chiselling on the eyes, also the highly worked mouth, with its unnaturally stylized perimeter and internal dressing marks.

This face may well be an example of what I have defined* as a recursive face - a carving which includes duplicate sets of eyes sharing the same features, as if two faces were superimposed at different scales sharing the same static features, in this case the same nose and chin. Diagram below:
