A dark bronze and copper sculpture depicts a person's head facing forward with a slight smile. The figure wears a textured wig that falls in two patterned sections alongside the neck. Large eyes with defined lids and a wide nose characterize the face, which features a circular ornament at the center of the forehead. The aged metal surface shows intricate, grid-like details on the hair and a smooth, weathered finish on the features.
