Terracotta head of a man
Not on view
The beardless man is shown wearing a band around his forehead and earrings. The head was made in a mold but articulated in several ways. The eyes and eyebrows were executed freehand, while the hair was stamped. Such terracotta sculptures of the late seventh and early sixth century B.C. have come to light at various sanctuaries, notably those at Idalion, Tamassos, and Salamis. The style of this piece is quite different from that of the adjoining two and may indicate a local workshop.
