Visual Summary

Brief Description

Black and white mural fragment depicting a figure's head and shoulders with an ornate halo

Detailed Description

A black and white fragment of a mural depicts the head and upper shoulders of a figure, centered within the frame. The figure's face is rendered with delicate lines, featuring downcast, elongated eyes, a slender nose, and full lips. A small dot is visible on the forehead. The hair is dark and styled, with elaborate curls and decorative elements forming a crown-like headpiece above the forehead. Long, dark strands of hair fall over the shoulders. A large, circular halo, outlined with a thick dark band and an inner decorative border, frames the head. The halo itself is lighter in tone, showing some texture and cracks. The figure wears a necklace with circular elements visible around the neck. The background is a lighter tone, with visible cracks and deterioration across the entire surface of the mural fragment.
