Head of brahman
Tapa-i Kafarihā - Figure
The face of this brahman is of Hellenistic type: frowning arch, deep eyes, half-open mouth. Large wavy locks frame the face and fall on the ears with deformed lobes, while the treatment of the waves on the rest of the hair is simplified, represented in hollow. A curl of hair forms a small bun falling backwards.
