Head, probably from a composite statuette
Meroitic
This enigmatic head shows features that are uncharacteristic of Egyptian art. Most distinctive is the rendering of the eyes and the figure's head. These features might indicate Mesopotamian, Meroitic, or Axumite origins. The figure's neck is drilled through, suggesting it may have attached to a separate body.
