Context
5 Cycladic Head The nose, small and turning toward the rectangular, is in low relief and is worn. This fragment from a statuette has flat contours and a pyramidal nose in relief. The head, which is pear-shaped, probably belonged to a female figure of normal, developed type. Traces of the eyes and mouth are visible in raking light. Cornelius Vermeule and Amy Brauer
