Carved wooden face, end of nose broken off, and loss of surface in some areas of the face. Vertical crack at top of head, another from tip of nose to chin, and one running down right side of face. The back consists of exposed wood, and two faint pencil marks are visible. One appears to read "1C (or 10)" and the other seems to be the number 50 encircled. Dark brown material covers much of the face, it is not clear whether this is stain, natural wood colour, or paint.
