This impressive lyre-shaped head tapers inwards at the forehead and has a rounded jaw line. The slender triangular nose is well centered. According to Getz-Gentle (op. cit., 2006, p. 36), this head was originally part of an unusually large reclining figure, speculated to be more than 37 in. (95 cm.) in length. For other examples similar in style and size, see no. 171 in C. Doumas, Cycladic Art, Ancient Sculpture and Art from the N.P. Goulandris Collection and p. 41 in J.-L. Martinez, La Grèce au Louvre.
