The head section includes rounded projections representing eyes, with traces of red pigment visible. The reverse of the piece is fitted with a central metal cross-bar secured by two Phillips head screws, and contains remnants of fibrous white material within the interior. The glass is shaped to follow the contours of the metal frame. No maker’s marks, signatures, or labels are visible on the item.
