L'avancée du buste met en valeur le geste de la main soutenant le sein gauche, et du visage, tendu vers l'avant. A la dignité de la pose, accentuée par la richesse de la parure, répond l'intensité de l'expression, offerte par les grands yeux sertis de verre, aux pupilles indiquées, et par la bouche entrouverte sur des dents limées. Patine caramel, rehaussée de brun, et d'une résine brun rouge sur le ventre et les joues.
Condition
Very good condition overall. Wear consistent with age and use within the culture.
