- Hand-modelled head of beardless man with longish, triangular face; high smooth forehead; curved brows; almond-shaped eyes with thick lids not overlapping at the outer corners; thin nose; small mouth with parted lips; pointed chin; hair rendered like a tight-fitting cap with locks indicated by curved furrows continuing down the back of the neck as well as on the marked sideburns; slightly concave ears outlined by a furrow; a small hole is bored into the head in front of each ear. Light reddish-grey clay with large black augite and red pozzolana inclusions; thin buff slip covering the entire head; traces of brown paint in the hair and red on the left ear. No vent; probably part of a small statue made as a votive offering (Andrén).
