Description

A terracotta bust of a figure, matt grey-brown and shown frontally against a plain grey backdrop. The head wears a tall rounded headdress with a knob on top, and the face is broken, with a hole where the eye and brow should be. Spiral ornaments sit on both shoulders, and the body is cracked, with one arm partly preserved at the side.
