Description

A pale terracotta head fragment shown in profile facing left, with a broken, ragged top edge and a second broken edge behind it. The almond-shaped eye, straight nose, full lips and rounded ear are modelled in relief, and a small round knob sits on the brow. It is photographed alone on a plain light background, with a crack running down the back of the neck and the lower edge broken away.
