Head of an Unidentified Deity

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The sculpture depicts the head and upper face of an unidentified deity. The head is made of stone and features a serene expression with eyes that are closed or half-closed, a straight nose, and slightly pursed lips. The facial features are worn but defined. A decorative headband or crown adorns the top of the head, featuring intricate designs and patterns. The headband has a central circular motif with dots arranged in a circle around it, and curved lines extend from the circle to the edges of the headband. The background of the image is a plain beige wall.
