A dark bronze sculpture depicts a mask-like head with a heavily textured surface and mottled green oxidation. Thick, irregular lumps of material crown the head as hair. The figure has deep-set eyes and a slightly open mouth revealing their upper teeth. The sculpture ends in a jagged, uneven edge at the base of the neck. Light reflects off the raised, uneven surfaces of the dark patina.
