Head of a Young Lady – This sculpture shows a young woman with a serene, sphinx-like expression and pale white skin, crowned with a wreath of red rose petals. Her elaborate hairstyle features wavy rows of curls across the forehead and two tiers of four Isis-curls on each side. Below the neck, part of a beaded necklace is still visible, while her ears are adorned with rings decorated with beads.

Traces of well-preserved colors—white, red, blue, ochre, brown, and black—enhance the details. The finely painted decorations give the figure a captivating and elegant appearance. The piece is broken at the back and below the neck and is now mounted on a metal stand.
