Tapa Kalān - Medallion
This medallion shows a musician blowing a horn, depicted in profile. The medallion is broken and damaged. The figure seems to have voluminous hair, probably with a headdress. The face is foreign: prominent forehead and arches, wide face and neck. The garment has the sleeves rolled up over the elbows. In his right hand he holds a horn, which ends in a flared bell.
