A small ceramic vessel fragment shaped as the upper portion of a woman’s head with painted facial features and a cylindrical neck opening above.
The image shows an upper part of a ceramic jar modeled in the form of a woman’s head. Above the head is a short, flaring neck with a hollow opening at the top. The head has stylized features: almond-shaped eyes, arched brows, a straight nose, and a small mouth. The woman wears a painted head covering/hair arrangement that frames the face; the paint also includes dark outlines for facial features and lighter areas on the face and neck. The background is a neutral studio setting; the object stands on a dark base. No legible hieroglyphs, cartouches, or other text are visible on the photographed portion, and no identifiable royal name is apparent.
