Description

A head and shoulders figure with a smooth, pale buff-grey surface, shown front-on against a plain light background. It wears a high, rounded cap with a ridge across the forehead, and has a straight nose, a small mouth and a ring earring on the viewer's right. The base is broken flat below the shoulders, and a dark object sits beneath it.
