Head of a Clay Figure (Dogū)
The sculpture depicts a head with a wide, triangular face and a small circular mouth. The head is made of clay and has a rough, uneven texture. Two triangular eyes are positioned on either side of a central ridge that runs down the middle of the face. The head appears to be broken off at the neck. The background of the image is a gradient that transitions from black at the top to gray at the bottom. The sculpture is titled "Head of a Clay Figure (Dogū)" by an unknown artist.
