Head from a figurine

Unknown

332–30 BC · Pottery, paint · Egyptian Art

In the area of Ptolemaic brick vaulted tombs in the Lower Assasif at Thebes were found many terracottas. They are only very roughly datable to this period. Possibly the hairstyle of this head is meant to suggest an Egyptian short male hairstyle.The head has a buff slip overall and black marking hair and features.
