The artifact is a limestone bust depicting a woman with an elaborate headdress.
This is a limestone bust featuring a woman adorned with a large, detailed headdress that covers her hair, indicative of royal or noble status. The sculpture showcases meticulous carvings around the headdress, although the face appears somewhat damaged. The bust is finely sculpted with attention to facial features, but there seems to be significant wear and erosion, particularly on the nose and lips, suggesting age and historical wear.
