A relief carving in off-white ivory and bone features a man's profile facing right. Wavy hair, a detailed collar, and draped robes are sculpted in smooth relief. A rectangular panel of intricate, lace-like openwork surrounds the central figure. The carving is set within a textured, deep maroon frame. The surface transitions from the solid, rounded forms of the portrait to a delicate, pierced lattice across the background.
