Description

A terracotta bust shown frontally against a grey backdrop on a pale surface, with a broken lower edge showing cracks and repairs. The head wears a band of raised rounded shapes, and the smiling face has large eyes; a diagonal band runs across the chest and one arm is bent at the lower right. A small number label is attached near the lower right edge.
