Description

The figurine shows a head and upper torso with a rounded head, a broad flat face with a small nose, and long side locks of hair falling beside the neck to the shoulders. The arms are only roughly modelled at the sides, and the body ends abruptly below the chest. The pale, pitted surface is lit against a black background, and the print is mounted on a light card with a printed label in the lower right corner.
