The face with fine features is characterized by beautiful almond-shaped eyes, the pupils painted in black. The partially damaged nose
was straight and fine, the small and fleshy mouth sketches a slight smile. The low forehead is topped by a short black painted ball wig. At the back of the skull, there is a right hand suggesting the presence of another character. The positioning of the hand
suggests that the figure was of greater size or arranged at a higher level than this head. This could be a family group.
