Visual Summary

Brief Description

A painted fragment of a human head with downcast eyes in a rough plaster block

Detailed Description

The image displays a rectangular, light brown block with a central, irregularly shaped fragment of a painting. The painted fragment, roughly oval, depicts a human head in profile, facing slightly to the right. The head has a light reddish-brown skin tone, with a smooth, rounded forehead and chin. The eyes are rendered with delicate white lines indicating closed or downcast eyelids. A prominent white line defines the bridge of the nose, extending upwards towards the brow. The mouth is a small, faint red line. The right ear is partially visible. Above and to the left of the head, remnants of a headdress or hair are visible, featuring dark lines and small accents of red and blue. A faint, light gray circular shape is present above the head on the right side. The background of the painted fragment is a light gray-tan. The edges of the painted fragment are rough and uneven, showing areas of breakage, revealing a darker, textured material beneath. The surrounding rectangular block is a uniform, lighter brown with a slightly granular texture.
