Head of Warrior

Description
This very damaged head is probably that of a soldier. The short, straight hair falls on either side of a median parting. Frowning eyebrows over bulging eyes give a worried expression to the character, who is slightly grotesque, with a short nose with open nostrils and a thick moustache falling on fleshy lips.
