Head of a Female Haniwa Figure with Headdress
The image shows a clay head of a Haniwa figure with a distinctive headdress. The figure's head is made of gray clay and features a wide face with two small oval holes for eyes and a triangular hole for the mouth. The nose is not defined. The head is positioned on a short, flared base. A flat, wide brim-like headdress sits atop the head, with a rough edge. The background of the image is light grey. A small white label at the bottom reads "THE METROPOLITAN MUSEUM OF ART".
