A white marble sculpture depicts a woman's head in profile, facing left. She has a prominent, straight nose and thin lips pressed together. Her eyes are simply outlined with no further details. Hair is carved in thick waves swept back over her ear into a bun. Fragmented at the top and base, the marble is marked with brown spots, and a small hole is drilled into the roughened back of the neck.
