Votive head, Head of a young man covered with a shawl, from under which hair emerges in the form of a fringe and falls in curls below the temples, covering the ears. Large, wide-open, convex eyes; large, straight nose; narrow mouth with wide, slightly curled, pouting lips. Face with a strong chin alluding to classical traditions. 4th century BC, Central Italy, votive offering. Height 27.3 cm, width 20.5 cm, depth 18.5 cm, weight 3.5 kg., A side view of a sculpted head made of a speckled tan material, showing a profile with a defined nose, lips, and chin; the surface has a rough, grainy texture with small darker specks. The head rests on a short rounded neck base that shows some irregularities and a small area of lighter material at the bottom edge. The background is a smooth, even light gray which contrasts with the tan of the sculpture. The overall colors visible are tan, darker brown specks, a small patch of light beige at the base, and light gray in the background.
