On a cream octagonal base, with irregular stone base decoration, artist's signature 'dakon' on top, behind the figure. This design reflects the so-called 'garconne mode', which was a popular, male-style women's fashion from 1924 until after 1928. Suit jackets in men's style and paletot coats and the typical bob haircut were characteristic of this trend.
