Carved bust of a woman made from ebony wood.
It portrays the head, neck, shoulders, and upper chest, with stylized yet expressive facial features—broad forehead, pronounced lips, and defined eyes.
The hair is depicted with fine, textured carving, suggesting braids or a patterned style.
The figure wears a sleeveless garment decorated with incised floral motifs across the chest.
The rich, dark tones of the ebony wood contrast with lighter polished areas, highlighting the details of the carving and giving the piece a smooth, elegant finish.
The style combines realistic form with simplified, bold features, creating a striking, dignified presence.
