Description: | This round and carefully moulded head has a pensive expression, gazing forward, its mouth firmly closed. Layers of pigment have worn away, leaving the remains of white undercoat with traces of black on the hair. It is broken at the neck from what would originally have been a complete figure about fifteen inches high. There is a wooden peg in the neck and there is a second hole at the very back of the head which may have held a similar peg. It is earthenware, made from terracotta clay.
