Profile facing right, with eyebrow and eye inlaid. The face is cobalt, the eyebrows orange, and the eye white with a black pupil. The eye penetrates through to the verso and the outline and pupil can be also be seen on that side. This feature indicates that the face was made using mosaic techniques. The face was formed in a mold and its details then carved in relief and carefully polished overall. The verso shows layered glass that has been flatened. This face would have been combined with separately created figural elements and inlaid into a casket, temple wall, or furnishings.
