Description

A terracotta head seen in profile facing left, with a long straight nose, a narrow almond-shaped eye and an incised eyebrow. The hair and beard are shown as rows of curled ringlets, and the top of the headdress has vertical grooves. The head stands on a dark square base against a plain grey background, and handwritten notes appear along the lower edge of the photo card.
