Description

A head of terracotta turned to the right in three-quarter view, with a tall flat-topped cap and a raised band across the brow. It has a long straight nose, a small mouth with defined lips and a large ear with a curled rim. The neck is broken off at the base, and a blue fragment shows at the bottom edge against a plain grey backdrop.
