Description

A head of a figure in profile, facing left, with a long straight nose, full lips and a wreath of leaf-like shapes across the forehead. The ear is modelled in relief, the hair falls smoothly behind, and the neck ends abruptly at the base. The surface is pitted and grainy, and the head rests on a pale surface with a thin strip of card beneath it.
