Description

A photograph of a sculpted head shown frontally on a pale card mount. The hair is arranged in raised wavy bands over the brow and around the ears, and the face is smooth and rounded. A crack runs diagonally across the face and nose, chips are missing from the hair and the cheek, and the neck ends in a jagged broken edge at the bottom.
