A light tan limestone relief fragment depicts the head of a figure in profile facing left. The figure wears a rounded, chin-length wig intricately carved with fine vertical lines and a horizontal band. Their face features a narrow almond-shaped eye, a straight nose, and lips curved into a faint smile. The stone surface has irregular, broken edges and patches of brown discoloration, highlighting the delicate facial contours and textured carving.
