Description: | Fragment of a solid mould-made terracotta figurine; only the head survives. This tye was identified by Petrie as MEsopotamian on account of the the bulbous eyes, amll pointed chin and prominant skull at the back of the head. The corners of the mouth are upturned and the nose is short, and slightly hooked. Both ears survive. The type is probably that of the Hellenistic Greek examples with exaggerated features.
