Abstract
Clay head, hollow, depicts a youth with curly hair. The pupil of the eyes is concave; the eyes are set in the head so that the glaze fills in around the eyelids. The nose and eyebrow ridge are clearly defined. The lips are full and straight. The turquoise glaze creates a brown blemish on the left cheekbone and a pool of brown in the hair on the left side.

A three-dimensional model of a small, green, clay sculpture of a human head with detailed facial features and curly hair. Some of the features have been smoothed out over time, obscuring some finer details. The sculpture has been coated in a green-blue glaze. 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.
