Description

The bust is shown in three-quarter view against a plain grey background, with the head turned toward the viewer's left. A band of leaf-shaped ornaments rises above the brow, and the shoulders are covered by a draped garment with deep folds. The surface is pitted and worn, and the lower edge of the bust rests on a pale cloth.
