Description

A head and upper body of a figure in terracotta, shown from the front against a plain pale background. The head wears a wreath with leaf-like forms, the eyes have heavy lids and the mouth a slight smile, and the drapery over the shoulders has fine vertical folds. A crack runs down the face and neck, and the left shoulder has a broken edge; a white mount edge and a number label appear at the lower corner.
