head of an anthropomorphic figurine representing a male figure. The head is shaped like a cone with a wide rounded tip. The base is slightly wider. The figure is wearing a fitted hat. Nose is represented with realistic proportions. Eyes are small round perforations. The drawing indicates a faint marking in the place of ears on each side which are not visible from the frontal view. Under the nose, a shape representing the lips is visible, but the lower portion of it is damaged. An unusual marking under the eyes in the form of incised vertical lines, one under each eye, is clearly marked for no apparent reason. However, these two lines in addition to the way the clay is shaped over the eyes, give the face a melancholic expression. Due to the peculiar shape of the head, it is very difficult to imagine that it was attached to a body. It was probably only a representation of a head. [Input: ZK226yM.j] |
