Queen Mother Head Sculpture2853/6

Cast bronze, hollow female head. The face has a pronounced brow with three small protruding marks above each eye, possibly representing scarification. Below the slightly protruding lips is a shallow jaw line leading to a long neck which is decorated with three thin rings. On the head is an elaborate headdress or hairstyle, starting at the hair line and culminating in a tall, thin cone-shaped projection at the top of the head that curves slightly forward. It is decorated with angled lines that are raised and crossed, making a diamond pattern. Decorations attached to the headdress hang down in front of the ears and at the back of the neck. The inside of the head is hollow and has a wire hanging halfway down from the point of the headdress.
