The full face, tilting slightly to the left, features large eyes with sharply outlined eyelids, a nose with pierced nostrils, fleshy, half-open lips, and thick ears set forward. Short, wavy locks frame the forehead and are parted in the middle; at the back of the head, tousled locks are arranged on either side of a central part. The hairstyle suggests that a band or wreath may have crowned the head. There is a circular hole above the left ear and another small hole above the upper lip.
