The bust is in fine condition with minimal signs of wear as shown in the photos. Although the plinth is lost to the sands of time, the bust itself is perfectly intact.

The bust shares strong visual characteristics—specifically the head wrap, braided hair, and pensive downward gaze—with several famous works and artists from that era. The Orientalist style frequently depicts figures such as an "Odalisque" or the "Bedouin Princess", often using white Carrara marble.

Smaller-scale busts like this were frequently produced in Italy (especially Florence) as high-end souvenirs or decorative items.
