Description
Although the head of this donor is eroded, the features seem personalized and depict a local type of character, with a broad nose and strong jaw, smiling, eyes half closed. He wears a turban or a bonnet with a smooth cap and a wide brim decorated with incisions. One can see a decoration or a certain arrangement on the top of this headdress.
