The head of a woman, once part of a larger statue, has an oval face with large eyes, a small nose, and a prominent chin. Her hair is parted in the center and fashioned into wavy, intertwined locks pulled back from her face and falling in long tresses on either side of her neck. She wears a lotus leaf and rosette crown with a veil over the back of her head. She wears earrings of rosette posts with pyramidal pendants. There is one Venus ring on the front of her neck. The adorned and crowned head could represent a votary.
