A light gray terracotta sculpture depicts a head with an expressive face and a pitted surface. Wide, circular eyes with hollow pupils sit above a broad nose and a large, gaping mouth. Deeply grooved hair sweeps upward toward a thick cylindrical protrusion atop the crown. Small circular holes mark the hair on each side, while faint reddish-brown tones appear across the weathered sculpture.
