Description

A terracotta head photographed against a plain grey background, with a tall cap rising to a small knob at the top. The face has incised eyebrows, almond-shaped eyes, a small smiling mouth and projecting ears, and locks of hair fall beside the cheeks. The neck ends in a jagged break at the base, and the surface shows some wear.
