Description

Close-up photograph of a terracotta bust showing a head with a flat cap or headdress, large almond-shaped eyes with heavy lids, a broad nose and a wide, closed-mouthed smile. Cracks run across the left cheek and nose, and small pits mark the pale grey surface. The neck and part of the shoulders appear at the bottom, cut off by the frame, against a plain grey backdrop.
