Description

A head sculpture shown in left-facing profile against a black background. The pale, fine-grained surface has fine cracks and chipped edges, and the back of the head ends in a rough, broken base. The hair is rendered as incised, wavy locks above a rounded ear, and the straight nose and full lips are clearly modelled.
