Head of a young donor
Tapa-i Kafarihā - Figure
This head of a donor with an idealized profile has a soft and smiling expression. Very damaged, he wears a circular or semi-circular ornament on his forehead, decorated in its center by a rosette. The state of preservation of the work makes it difficult to determine whether this ornament itself was part of a tiara or whether it was placed directly on the hair.
