Description

A frontal photograph of a terracotta head and upper shoulders on a plain grey background. The tall rounded headdress is covered with an incised diamond lattice, and short incised strokes mark the brows above large, heavy-lidded eyes, a broad nose and a small mouth. Cracks run across the neck and shoulders, and the surface is worn in places.
