Description

A broken terracotta head shown in three-quarter profile, facing left. The face has a long straight nose, a painted eye outline and a dark painted band along the jaw, with long dark painted hair falling behind a ring-shaped element by the ear. The top of the head and the neck are broken, and the piece stands on a small block against a plain light background.
