Not just the head, but the fingers too. I took another picture up close that shows all her fingers except the thumb all gone, crudely sawn-off

Students?

I spoke to a man at the cemetery - a local who was walking his dog - who told me that this likely wasn't the handiwork of a student, but rather of one of the several homeless people who sometimes sleep on the overturned tombstones of several graves. I don't know if he was telling the truth or if it was just pure speculation, but apparently, the cemetery is "a notorious haunt for drug users and rough sleepers". While I don't condone vandalism, I can't help but think that whoever did it created a piece of iconoclastic art, intentionally or otherwise
