Description

A head sculpture seen in profile facing left, with a smooth band running diagonally over the crown and down behind the ear. The large rounded ear sits low on the side of the head, and a long, pointed projection extends forward from below the mouth. The pale, grainy surface is chipped and cracked, with a dark stain on the crown, and the broken base rests on a stand.
