Abstract

The head depicts a woman with hair rolled back from the face and at the nape of the neck. Above the nape, the hair is gathered in a bun. The hair on the crown is parted in the middle. The eyelids are worked in relief. The nose and other features are eroded. The face is asymmetrical: the cheek and jaw bones are more prominent on the right side than on the left.
