Terracotta sculpture of a woman of African descent's face: her hair is flattened against her skull, extending down to the figure’s neck, and its texture is delineated with small incisions. Her face possesses a prominent forehead, broad nose, and full lips. The sculpture is both highly individual yet also timeless and universal.
