Description

Two small heads with headdresses and curled hair stand on black cylindrical bases against a grey backdrop. The left head has a crown with a mottled, dark surface and leaf-like forms, with curls at the sides and a broad face with a small mouth. The right head is smoother, with a tiered crown, a smiling face and ringlet locks falling beside the ears.
