Sculpted Face in the Wall


I'm not quite sure what the exact name is for this particular type of architectural design. It's built into a wall, set on top of a (if memory serves correctly) rectangular decorative stone column, at the base of arches. (I'll have to take a picture of the full storefront sometime to see if I am remembering this correctly.) In color, this little piece is one of the shades of color that you might see in terracotta clay. In color, the face doesn't seem to stand out as well as it does in black and white (hence, the bw image above.)
