Head of a Deity

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Head of a deity by an unknown artist. A sculpture of a face on a black stand. The face is made of a light-colored stone and has a crown-like structure on its head. The face has a nose, mouth, and eyes. The eyes are almond-shaped and have a subtle, upward tilt at the outer corners. The eyebrows are carved in a curved line above the eyes. The mouth is a thin line with a slight upward curve. The skin of the face appears rough and textured. The background is a plain beige wall.
