Tongue-tied | ceramic portrait with knotted tongue ribbon

Tongue-tied: a smooth ceramic portrait bust with an open mouth from which one continuous ribbon-shaped tongue flows out and ties into a loose knot, a small microphone waiting nearby.

Prompt

A smooth ceramic portrait bust with an open mouth has one long continuous ribbon-shaped ceramic tongue flowing directly out of the mouth opening, the single unbroken ribbon tying itself into one loose readable knot just outside the lips. A small blank microphone waits on a plain stand nearby, and the portrait's eyes glance sideways with nervous hesitation. Sculptural studio photography in a tight three-quarter view under soft diffused light, glossy pale ceramic with a faint craquelure at the lip edge, muted sage and cream tones, the ribbon reading as one continuous ceramic tongue from throat to knot rather than a separate bow. 16:9 wide composition, the full-bleed scene running continuous and complete to every edge. No hands in frame; portrait, ribbon, microphone and surrounding surfaces plain and unmarked with no lettering anywhere.
