Description

A sculpted head with a broad face, heavy-lidded eyes and a small mouth, shown alone against a plain light background. A row of rounded knobs runs across the top of the head above a band with vertical markings, and hair falls in curls at the sides. The chin, back and lower edge are broken and the surface is rough and pale.
