The eyebrows are arched, and the eyes are made in the form of lines and are slightly closed, giving the image a sad and thoughtful expression. The nose and lips are simple but clearly defined. The facial expression is calm, creating the impression of a person immersed in philosophical contemplation.In the lower part of the chest, there are two cylindrical protruding elements. The upper part of the head is damaged (broken).
