Abstract
The features are so worn that gender is difficult to determine. The hair appears to be short and curly, suggesting a young man. The face inclines slightly to the left. The upper eyelids and eyebrow ridges are worked in relief. The nose has been broken and eroded. Earlobes are visible below the hair.

A three-dimensional model of a marble sculpture of a human head. The facial features of the figure are worn and smooth from the passage of time, so it is difficult to determine what kind of person--man, woman, girl, boy, etc.--the sculpture is intended to portray. A lighter-colored, circular chunk of marble at the base of the head indicates it was once attached to a larger piece, possibly the rest of the figure's body. 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.
