Probably created for use as a votive dedication, or an offering to a deity, this mold-made female head tops a broad neck spreading into a flat base; no bust or body was intended. The wavy hair, parted in the center, drapes before the ears and beneath a simple headband, framing the face and emphasizing the frontal view. Although three-dimensional, the head is unworked on its back half.
