Visual Summary

Brief Description

A damaged painted fragment depicts the upper body of a figure wearing a halo, crown, and draped garments

Detailed Description

A vertical, rectangular fragment of a painted artwork is mounted on a light brown board. The painted surface is heavily damaged, with large areas of paint missing and the plaster cracked and eroded. The central element is the upper body of a figure, facing slightly to the viewer's right, with the head turned to look forward. The figure has a light-colored face with elongated, downcast eyes, a small nose, and a small, closed mouth. A dark, thin line defines the eyebrows, and a prominent dark circular mark is on the forehead. The figure wears an elaborate, dark crown or headdress with visible patterns. Behind the head is a light-colored, circular halo or nimbus, outlined in dark grey. The figure's neck is adorned with a dark, multi-layered necklace. The shoulders and upper torso are draped in flowing garments. A prominent sash or scarf, colored a pale green-blue, drapes over the left shoulder and across the chest. Other parts of the garment are dark with lighter, curved lines suggesting folds or patterns. Armbands are visible on the upper arms. The lower part of the torso and arms are largely missing or heavily damaged. The dominant colors are muted greys, browns, and black for the outlines and details, with areas of pale green-blue for the sash and light grey for the skin. The background behind the figure is dark grey or black.
