This is a scan I did when I visited the excellent Lancaster City Museum. It was described as a 3rd Century AD Roman stone head. I'm no expert, but I'd guess this is another funerary carving based on the Cult of Attis, as it looks very similar to other ones I've seen.

The scan was done with the Sony 3D Creator app on an Xperia XZ1 Compact smartphone, which did a good job of representing the shape.
