Description

The head belongs to a statue of a royal woman. She wears a curved tripartite wig and a diadem with an uraeus; the body of the snake coils as a figure-of-eight and its head is upraised over the diadem. The elongated face is plump; the eyes with long cosmetic lines are placed somewhat aslant. The eyebrows almost join over the very thin bridge of the nose. A ghost of smile plays on the full lips.
