Description

The head and upper body have a broad face, a straight nose and a closed mouth, with hair arranged in wavy rows over the forehead and sides. A cylindrical stub rises from the top of the head, and folds of drapery cover the shoulders and upper arms above a bust whose base is cut flat. It is photographed frontally against a plain dark background.
