A front view of a carved head with short curled hair set in rows over the forehead and temples, wide eyes with heavy lids, a straight nose and lips slightly parted. The weathered, pitted surface shows wear, and the neck ends in a rough stub at the bottom edge. The photograph is mounted on a pale card with a narrow border.
