Description

A sculpted head with a smooth face, straight nose, and a heavy mass of hair carved in wavy ridges that frames the face and falls to the shoulders. The neck ends in a broken stump set into a round, cushion-like base, shown against a dark background. The surface shows wear and small chips around the hair.
