About the sculpture

The roundel is carved with a frontal smiling face, perhaps a comic mask. The beardless figure's brow is heavily furrowed with a series of horizontal lines over deep-set eyes. The mouth is smiling. The hair is swept back from the face and the hair is indicated by closely incised lines.
