Small Horned Head

Two large eyes, hollow to receive inlays, dominate the face of this small, formerly horned head with cattle ears. A prominent nose sits above a diminutive mouth and chin. The incised line of the eyebrows continues to the sides of the head, indicating curls of hair. Both horns and the back of the head have broken off. Vertically pierced (diameter of the drill hole: 0.2 cm), this head of a divine being could have been worn as an amulet.
