Description

The head is shown frontally against a pale backdrop, with a band-like headdress covering the top, large ears and round disc earrings, and a small raised nose and mouth. The eyes are only faint hollows, and the neck is broken off at its base, which rests on a block tinted blue. A triangular number label stands at the lower left, and the print has been hand-tinted in yellow and blue.
