Descriptions

Description
The bust portrays the head, shoulders, and upper chest, cutting off the body below the breasts. The figure wears an elaborate headdress with a veil that falls to her shoulders. She wears a draped garment over her body, and part of the same garment criss-crosses her chest. The body terminates in a small round pedestal.
