The sculpture rests on a rough, square base from which rises a thick column. The gently rounded chin rises to broad flat cheekbones. The face is in relief, a wing shape of two parallel lines spans the oval eyes, the nose is broad and flat, the mouth is wide and curves slightly up at the ends. The face is surrounded by a rough, uneven overhang on the forehead and which extends on the sides down almost to the level of the chin. The top is flat. The surface is pitted and appears porous.
