專家說明

It is likely that heads such as the present example, with their distinctive facial features including prominent nose, pointed lips, and large almond-shaped eyes, depicted priests or dignitaries and were erected as votaries. For a similar head wearing a conical helmet see cat. 4 in A. Hermary and J. Mertens, The Cesnola Collection of Cypriot Art: Stone Sculpture.
