Description

A head with a broken base, shown in grey tones against a pale ground on a cream card mount. The face has heavy-lidded eyes, a small mouth and a rounded chin, and the head is turned slightly to one side. Rows of spiral curls frame the forehead and sides beneath a broad raised band, and the lower edge of the neck is broken away.
