This would have once formed a head stop, an end piece to a moulding above a window or arcade, at Fortrose Cathedral. A similar head-stop remains in situ, towards the west end of the south aisle, supporting the hood-mould of the arcade. The head is badly damaged, with most of the lower part of the face broken away, along with the hair on the left hand side.
