Description

A bust-length figure with a close-fitting cap-like headdress, its hairline marked by a row of small dots and a beaded necklace below the neck. A second beaded line runs over the shoulders, and the arms are only roughly modelled. The figure is shown against a plain grey backdrop, ending in a rough, flat lower edge, with small cracks and surface marks on the body.
