A limestone head from a statuette, depicting an Eastern character or divinity, wearing a high felt cap (pilos), the long hair arranged in thick curls descending neatly in fifteen vertical rows along the neck, thin and well-defined face; mounted on a custom-made display stand. Cf. The Walters Art Museum, inv. 54.1330, for similar in bronze. 106 grams, 68mm high (143 grams total, 10.3cm including stand) (2 1/2 (4)"). North London gentleman, in storage since the 1970s.
