Description

The head is shown in three-quarter view against a pale grey backdrop, with a dark rounded base visible behind it at right. A close-fitting headdress covers the top and sides of the head, and a band runs across the brow. The face has narrow downcast eyes and a small closed mouth, and the surface is pitted and worn; below the chin a row of round beads forms a necklace.
