The object is a fragment of the lid of an anthropoid coffin. The idealized face is round with large eyes and a somewhat broad nose. The wig, of which only the upper part is preserved, is adorned with two checkered fillets, interchanged with two rows of stylized petals. The hair is painted blue with black stripes and is not parted. On top of the wig, a winged sun disk is painted.
