Description

A pale terracotta head of a small figure, shown frontally against a black background. The hair is piled high in layered waves, with a curl near the ear, and the heavy-lidded eyes and nose are worn. The surface is pitted and chipped at the top, and blue marks run along the right edge and the base.
