The eye is white, outlined by black, with an iris that is black, ringed by reserve and black. Traces of bright red pigment (cinnabar?) on the lips and nose. Darkish red application on the interior. To the same relief face belong the fragments 81.AE.215.7-8 and 85.AE.191.3-4 with parts of the god's beard.
