Bronze Mount from a "Shawabty Bundle": Head

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a bronze head of a person wearing a headdress. The head is made of dark-colored metal, likely bronze, with a greenish tint. The face has a neutral expression with eyes closed, straight eyebrows, a small nose, and thin lips. The head is adorned with a headdress that covers the top and sides of the head, featuring a pattern of lines and shapes. The headdress has a triangular shape on top of the head, with lines extending from it. The sides of the head have a wavy pattern resembling hair. The neck area features two large, rectangular pieces with a grid-like pattern. The background of the image is black, gradually transitioning to dark gray towards the bottom. The overall style of the piece suggests it is an ancient artifact.
