Description

A head and upper torso in pale, slightly grainy clay, shown three-quarter view against a plain grey backdrop. The face has heavy-lidded eyes, a straight nose and full lips, the hair is close-cut over the forehead, and a small ear ornament sits at the side. Dark seams mark where broken pieces have been rejoined, and the shoulder and neck show worn areas.
