Definition 2026-09-15 yM figurine [Input: ZK915yM.j]
Description (summary) 2018-03-15 yM head of an anthropomorphic figurine representing a bald male. The shape of the head is irregular. The forehead has two indentations above the eyebrow ridge and a bump, which gives the figure an expressive look. The sides of the head are flat. Both ears are applied and the right ear has a triangular shape. The ridge of the eyebrows is prominent. The eyes are deep round perforations. The nostrils are big and the nose is crooked. Looking at the nose from the side, we can see that the bridge of the nose is very high, it almost looks deformed. The mouth is also a deep round perforation giving the impression that the figure is screaming or growling. The back of the neck and the head form an almost straight line, leaving no separation between the head and the neck in the back with a slight hunch, which makes the head very robust and very primitive in shape. The figure appears to have a resentful appearance. This was probably intentional to express an inner thought or feelings of the person who made it. [Input: ZK226yM.j]
