A warm cream ivory sculpture depicts a fragmented bust of a man facing forward. He has closed eyes, a broad nose, and full lips. Incised lines define hair combed forward and a garment with vertical folds draped over the shoulder on our right. The figure is broken at the top right and across the chest and arms. Dark, weathered grain striates the material, which is missing its lower torso.
