Human Figurine

CBS Register: fragment (head) of a man in terracotta, head shaved (Sumerian?)

PBS XVI: Head of a Sumerian, shaven and shorn. Primitive type, modelled by hand in the round. The ears are pinched out of the solid clay, the eyes are pellets attached, the mouth is little more than a cut, and yet this rough sketch has character. The round skull, large eyes, small chin, high cheek bones, short neck, and shoulders attached high below the ears, are the true Sumerian type.
