Abstract

Head with neck and shoulder depicts a young man gazing forward, his head inclined toward his left shoulder. Hair is arranged in ringlets around his face, held by a filet. The hair behind the filet radiates in rows toward the crown. At the nape, the hair is rolled up in large curls over the filet. Part of the crown of the head is broken away. The face is smooth. The eyes seem vacant; they are defined by the eyelids and set high in the face. The nose and lips are small but well-defined. A garment is draped over the left shoulder.

Stone Head

Alt Text

A three-dimensional model of a stone sculpture depicting a male human head with detailed facial features, including a mouth that hangs just slightly open. Damage to the left side of the sculpture has obscured some of the figure's features on that side, but he is seen to have short, curly hair and appears to have been carved as wearing a robe or other flowy garment over his left shoulder. The 3D model can be freely moved, rotated, and zoomed in and out to allow the viewer to inspect the object from multiple angles. A small, still image of the object is also included, with the object against a white background and a measurement scale in centimeters below it.
