The image shows a small, circular portrait of a person that includes the head and the upper portion of the shoulders. The person's face is positioned forward in the center of the circle, with a soft expression, large eyes, a slightly open mouth, and voluminous, textured hair styled high and away from the face. The person wears a garment with visible detailing around the collar area and is adorned with a string of pearls around the neck. This circular portrait is enclosed by a text band that includes a name or inscription, partially readable. The background of the image is a plain, lightly textured beige surface with some faint markings midway down and near the bottom edge.
