Description

The head is shown straight on against a pale backdrop, with a card border visible around the print. A wide band runs across the crown, set with several rounded knobs, and wavy hair shows along the forehead. The large almond eyes have heavy lids, the nose is straight and the mouth small and closed, and the surface is pitted and worn.
