This head, made separately for insertion into a statue, represents the god Apollo, with youthful and idealised features and long luscious locks tied at the back, which were left partially unworked. A cast of this head was made in 1977 and is now exhibited in the Skulpturhalle in Basel.
Given the pose of the head, slightly turned to the side and looking straight ahead, it might have come from a figure of the Pythian Apollo type. For another example of the specific hairstyle with curls at the front raised in a quiff and tied at the back on a statue of Apollo Lyceus, cf. E. Simon, 'Apollon/Apollo, LIMC II, vol. 2, Zurich and Munich, 1984, p. 184, no. 39f.
