Terracotta Head

Description

The head is hollowed out in the back. The figure wears some sort of a head cover that covers all but a section of hair closest to the face. The hair borders the forehead in a scalloped pattern. In one eye a painted black pupil can be seen. The lips are slightly open with an archaic smile.
