Figure2827/66

Terracotta sculpture of a human head. Hand-moulded and light brown-orange in colour, this figure is wearing a thick head covering or headdress containing three large holes and numerous little holes. The headdress was clearly made separately and added to the head before firing. Facial features include slanted eyes, high cheekbones, a broad nose with large nostrils, and a round mouth. There are gaps at either side of the mouth. The nose and mouth are marked with a black substance, which may have formed during firing. The back of this piece is slightly concave, like a mask.
