English, translated from the French record

Unmoulded figurine of a grotesque, head and neck fragment (perhaps), H. 3.8 cm, with a vertical hole through the head and neck. The round, shaved head has no modelled detail except the conical nose, which is damaged; incisions for eyes and mouth are queried. Pink-beige fabric, with black paint still vivid but preserved mostly at the back and full modelling; perhaps painted entirely black. The vertical perforation suggests an anthropomorphic vessel. Salamis, Cyprus, Campanopetra, square K IV/ε9; inventory Tc_0933; 27 September 1967.
