Description

A stone female head, its nose broken and surface worn, turned to the right on a thin metal rod above a white square plinth. The head wears a veil drawn back over the skull, with wavy hair combed across the forehead and a cluster-shaped pendant earring below. A plain grey backdrop fills the background, and blue handwriting is visible on the card margin at the bottom edge.
