Limestone Cypro-Greek I (Cesn. Coll.)

Description

A carved limestone head in strict profile facing right, set on a dark cylindrical base against a plain grey backdrop. The helmet has a knob at the top, incised cross-hatching and a band of raised beads or pellets along its lower edge. The beard is rendered as rows of spiral curls, and the ear is carved in detail; the surface is worn and the lower neck is broken.
