Yes thank you for sharing the piece is very striking. The eyes I just cannot get over them. I wish the piece was intact as I'm sure we are missing an emotion the artist was trying to convey with eyes like that.

I'm afraid there is no more information on this piece (or any I could find anyway) but it seemed a shame not to include such a striking image just because we don't know very much about the object. After all, after 5000 years, it's amazing this head has survived at all.
