Description

A close view of a painted profile head facing left, with dark hair swept back and a ring-shaped earring, set below a horizontal band of key pattern and stripes. The pale ground is worn and scratched, and the lower part of the design fades into dark shadow. No scale or label is visible, so the scale of the piece cannot be judged.
