Head of Warrior

Photo by Francine Tissot
Description
This warrior is wearing a round helmet with a wavy edge that forms a pyramid on the forehead and ends in a scroll above the ears. The top of the head is adorned with a carina curved towards the front, like a Phrygian cap. This carina is decorated with incisions. A chinstrap is attached under the chin. The face bears the mark of Western art. The eyebrows are furrowed, the gaze is serious and the lips are parted.
