The broad face of this head shows an open mouth with full 'flesh' lips, well formed triangular shaped nose nearly touching the upper lip, and narrow almond-shaped eyes. Gracefully formed eyebrows in slight relief join at the ends with the corners of a covering over the vroad incised horizontal band of the headdress, which is vordered top and bottom by rows of appliqued circles. Around the neck is a heavy doubled banded necklace, and attached to the right side is an ornamental rectangular extention with a minkey head in the center. The individual portrayed, whether male or frmale, appears to be someone of high rank, most likely a priest/priestess. Expressing both dignity and sensuality, this bust is remarkable for its beauty and very real human quality.
