Head of a Clay Figure (Dogū)
The head of a clay figure, titled "Head of a Clay Figure (Dogū)", by unknown artist, is a sculpture of a human head made from clay. The head is positioned on a short, thin, metal rod. The figure's face features a large, open mouth and small, triangular eyes that are closed or blind. The nose is formed by two lines that meet at the tip. The skin of the figure is rough and textured with visible imperfections. The color of the clay is primarily brown with some lighter and darker areas. The background is dark at the top and light at the bottom, with a shadow cast to the right of the figure. The overall shape of the head is rounded with a protruding chin area.
