Limestone head of a bearded male wearing a conical helmet

Cypriot

Not on view

The rounded beard is smooth, with the central part jutting forward. The face is thin, the features delicate; the expression is smiling. There is a small mustache above the upper lip. The eyes, with slightly protruding eyeballs, turn inward; the relatively short, thick eyebrows are high-set. On the forehead, a smooth band indicates the locks that show underneath the helmet, the cheekpieces of which are clearly outlined.
