Description

A grey-brown terracotta head and upper neck shown in right profile against a pale backdrop, set on a flat surface. The head wears a raised band or veil that runs over the crown and down behind the ear, and the surface is worn and flaked in places. The nose and chin are intact, while the base of the neck is broken away at the bottom edge.
