Description: | This head of a figure is depicted with an open mouth and closed eyes defined by two slits. The head is hollow so the inside is visible through the mouth. The brows, nose and ears have been modelled and holes have been used to define the nostrils and ear canals. Two fan-shaped ornaments adorn each earlobe, decorated with incised horizontal lines. The head is decorated with holes which are formed in horizontal bands. The bottom of the head ends abrubtly at an angle where the material is rough and unfinished suggesting the head was once part of a larger figure. The head is made of terracotta, fairly smooth in texture. Traces of white stucco and black paint can be found. A streak of black pigment runs vertically down the right cheek.
