A warm brown terracotta sculpture depicts a human face in the form of a mask with textured features. Thick, braided locks of hair frame the forehead and hang down the sides. Large, circular openings form the eyes, and a wide, oval opening defines the mouth. A prominent nose sits at the center. The matte surface shows small chips along the left edge but retains detailed patterns within the hair's braided design.
