Description

A light-coloured head in profile facing left, with a broad nose, a small mouth, a rounded chin and a modelled ear. A band runs across the top of the head, and the back and top are broken away, leaving rough edges at the neck and skull. A dark block sits beside the broken neck at the lower right, and a small number label lies at the lower left against a plain grey backdrop.
