A terracotta head, shown in three-quarter view facing left, set against a plain grey backdrop. Its surface is rough and pitted with small holes, the nose and lips are broad and modelled, and the top of the head is broken and uneven. Ear ornaments with disc-like and knob-like forms project beside the ear on the right side of the image, and the neck is cut off at the base.
