Description
Note: "Brustbild von der Seite." (E-30-0,4).
Note translation: "Head and shoulders in profile from the side." (E-30-0,4). - Note the scarification. The material used in the head-dress is locally or regionally produced - the structure of the cloth is clearly visible. The cloth over the woman's shoulders is evidently European, however. Can a symbol be seen on the large coin on her necklace? The necklace consists of beads imported from Europe. (PV 02.2002).
