Description
Carved meticulously from stone, this head sculpture hails from the Neolithic era, a testament to the dawn of human figuration and symbolism. Standing 3.5 cm tall, its abstract form and simplified facial features resonate with the era's artistic conventions.

The craftsmanship suggests it was created with tools rudimentary yet capable of rendering a form that has endured millennia. Its weathered surface whispers of countless years buried within the earth, only to be rediscovered as a cultural relic connecting us to our most distant ancestors.
