| Decoration | 2001-09-16 | MKB | painted with dark red paint on the head covering, around the lower portion of the chin and the outer portion of the cheeks. The figure was not painted on the main portions of the face as was the case for the Khabur period head found in Area C [Input: L916MKB.j] |
| Preservation | 2001-09-16 | MKB | break at top of the neck but does not appear to be so large as to indicate that the head was attached to the rest of the body at the neck. The reverse has a small break on one side but there is no indication that it was attached to something at the back. No ware pattern on any of the edges indicates that it was inserted into a larger panel or composition. [Input: L916MKB.j] |
| Iconographic description, specific | 2001-09-16 | MKB | headdress or hat consists of a high smooth band around the front and sides of the head extending down at the level of the ears. The top of the head was covered with the same head covering but the front, band portion extends higher than the piece covering the top of the head. Her eyes are made with small applied round flat disks but her nose is modeled out of the same clay as the head. Her eyebrows are an extension of the same modeling as the nose and on both sides of the face for the full width of the face. Her cheeks are shown as high and prominent. This facial characteristic is similar to the very prominent cheek bones of the clay statuette found in A12 in MZ 12 (1999). While she does have a prominent chin her mouth is only indicated by a short shallow line. At the back her head appears to be covered by the same head covering which forms a projecting arch around the flat central portion. [Input: L916MKB.j] |
| Notes on typology | 2001-09-16 | MKB | It is possible that this head was attached to a portion of the body but it is more likely that it is an independent piece for an unknown use. [Input: L916MKB.j] |
