Red pottery face, possibly from a hollow figurine of a woman. The face is twisted to her right slightly. Her facial features are modelled, as is a roll of hair incised with diagonal lines that circles her head. Remains of paint or plaster with pink tinges, also some black lines visible deliniating the features. Patches of modern glue and paper adhere to the back of the piece.
