Abstract

Head is adorned with a headdress set in the hair. Hair is parted in the middle of the forehead and arranged in rows radiating away from the face. The headdress is a broad circular device extending from above one ear, across the top of the head and over to above the other ear. Behind the headdress, the rows of hair are pulled into a knot at the nape. Details behind the headdress are roughly worked. The facial details are not sharp but include top and bottom eyelids, distinct straight lips and a double chin. Right ear is eroded.

A three-dimensional model of a clay sculpture of a woman's head. Her wavy hair is tied back behind her head and she wears a crown or other kind of headdress atop it. Her eyes, nose, and lips are clearly engraved. Her facial features are slightly asymmetrical, with her left eye appearing slightly lower than her left. 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.
