Limestone Cypro-Greek II head, Vouni III-IV, Pl. XVI
Description
A carved limestone head photographed on a plain grey backdrop and mounted on a pale card with handwritten notes in the margins. Large almond-shaped eyes and a raised ridge running over the crown, which suggests a helmet, are visible. The surface is pitted and worn, and the lower edge of the stone is broken.
English, translated from the Swedish record
Limestone Cypro-Greek II Vouni III-IV, Pl. XVI. The head probably represents Athena or someone similar, wearing a helmet. The find is probably at the Cyprus Museum in Nicosia.
