A portrait bust of a very young child. The hair is cut short above the brow in the Trajanic style, and behind, above the right ear, is a so-called lock of Horus. The eyes, unarticulated, gaze unfocused at a distant point. The cheeks are full, the lips are slightly compressed, the chin is small but firm.
