Description

This warrior is wearing a wide headband decorated with circular medallions. The hair is medium-length and straight, topped with a pointed conical headdress, the base and top of which are set with beads, perhaps cabochons. The long hair covers the ears, which bear disc-shaped earrings. The figure appears to be wearing a beard. The lips are half-open in a smile. The face is idealised and bears the mark of Indian influence.
