Cast profile head inlay facing left. The facial features are well articulated and there is great attention to detail especially in the rendering of the ear. It appears as if the head may have had a separate attachment for a headdress. It is in good condition with a few nicks and scratches. Some minor weathering and discoloration is visible above the eye and around the ear.
