This is a photograph of a mannequin with a stylized face made from simple, flat shapes. It is adorned with a wire mesh hat and a long-handled object, possibly mimicking a hat pin. The mannequin has curled material resembling hair on one side of its head and wears a multi-tiered pearl necklace, along with draped fabric. The composition presents an avant-garde and artistic approach to fashion display. The photograph is in black and white.
