The image shows a sculptural relief depicting the head and upper torso of a figure. The figure is facing forward in a direct frontal position. The facial features of the sculptural figure are classical in style, with a straight nose, defined lips, and deep-set eyes. The hair is stylized in a classical manner and partly obscured by an elaborate headdress adorned with leaf-like decorations. The figure is adorned with draped garments and a prominent medallion near the neckline. The background is a plain, light-colored surface. The signature "Grace Phillips" is noted in the bottom right corner of the image.
