Limestone head of a bearded male wearing a conical helmet

Cypriot

Not on view

The beard, broken around the lower edge, is divided into rows of large curled strands. He has a smiling curved mouth, a pointed nose with hollowed nostrils, wide-open eyes with almost flat eyeballs and delicate eyelids, thick, high-set eyebrows, and well-defined ears. A row of curled locks projects below the helmet. The surface is covered with diamond-shaped lozenges.
