Catalogue Note
A gentle head, possibly intended for an attendant or a young deity. The curls are small and densely packed, forming a cap that frames the face; the features are fine and slightly asymmetrical, which gives it more life than a perfectly regular face would have.
The finish is a soft grey-green.
