Description

A close view of a carved head with heavy-lidded eyes, a straight nose and a small closed mouth, set on a neck. The head wears a cap or headdress with a raised knotted form at the upper right. The surface is rough and weathered, with chipped edges and pitting, and the print is mounted on a card with a pale border.
