Abstract
The figure wears a close-fitting cap. The hair is represented in a most unusual manner. Hair is parted in the middle and curls up from under the cap in crude, regular sweeps in a rigid sections. The graduated sweeps of hair meet symmetrically at the nape and roll up onto the cap. The nape and earlobes are exposed. The earlobes are very flat and close to the cheek. The face is smooth with a prominent, sharp nose. The nostrils and eyelids are defined, as is the brow bone. The eyes are deep set. The lips are clearly defined and prominent. The chin is clearly defined.

A three-dimensional model of a white marble sculpture depicting the head of a woman with wavy hair tucked under some kind of cap or headdress. Some of her hair can be seen sticking out on all sides of the cap, with curved lines carved into the pieces to reflect its character and texture. The woman has thick lips that are curved slightly upward in a small, closed-lip smile. Her eyes, eyelids, and nose are also well-defined. The 3D model can be freely moved, rotated, and zoomed in and out to allow the viewer to inspect the object from multiple angles. A small, still image of the object is also included, with the object against a white background and a measurement scale in centimeters below it.
