Description

A small terracotta head wearing a rounded cap-like headdress, with heavy-lidded eyes, a short straight nose and a closed mouth. Locks of hair or cheek pieces fall beside the face, and the lower neck ends in a rough edge. The head is photographed straight on against a pale background, with a handwritten number label in the lower left corner.
