Männliches Gesicht
6. Jh. v. Chr.
Head from a medium-size male statue. Partly mold-made and retouched, hollow. Around his head the man must have been wearing a turban (?) which is now missing. Large eyes with added ridges for eyelids, party detached. Large nose, broad mouth with a smiling expression. Short but prominent chin. Large ears with double-looped earrings. Short locks of hair fall on either side of the neck. No traces of painted decoration.
