Description

Sculpture of a woman's head and upper torso against a plain grey background. Her hair is arranged in rows of waves across the forehead with a raised band on top, and her wide eyes look ahead. The draped garment has folds, and the surface is worn and chipped near the neck; a scale bar runs along the bottom edge and a number label sits in the lower right corner.
