English, translated from the French record

Fragment of a moulded hollow head of a bearded standing figurine of the "Assyrian type", from the Sanctuary, square K V/η6, Salamis. The incomplete headdress is missing two-thirds, the nose is broken, and the right "ear cover" (?) is gone. Brownish fabric, very poorly fired; the head is very damaged and split, with black paint still fresh and traces of red paint. The headdress and ear cover are applied; the back is convex, hand-shaped, with no relief other than the headdress. H. 3.5 cm. Inventory Tc_1999; 9 September 1969.
