Description

A bust of a woman with downcast eyes, full cheeks and a small mouth, wearing a band of round beads across the forehead and a cloth falling over the shoulders. Side hair is rolled into curled locks, and a pendant hangs from a necklace on the chest. The pale surface is chipped at the top and along the neck, where a crack runs down, and the bust stands on a dark base against a plain grey backdrop.
