Head of a King

Cleveland Museum of Art

The sculpture, titled "Head of a King," depicts a stone head wearing a headdress, mounted on a black rectangular base. The head is angled slightly to the right. The sculpture appears to be made of dark gray stone. The face is rendered with a calm expression, featuring a straight mouth and slightly closed eyes. The nose is straight and proportional to the rest of the facial features. The headdress consists of a series of horizontal ridges that cover the forehead and extend down the sides of the head, resembling a traditional Egyptian royal headpiece. The background is dark at the top and gradually lightens towards the bottom, with a shadow cast by the sculpture on the right side.
