This is the head of a male haniwa with hair on both sides of his head in the mizura style. He is wearing a mountain-shaped hat, but the top portion has been lost. There is a headband around the bottom portion of the hat to secure it. Both the eyes and the mouth are horizontal, carved-out lines that surround the long nose.
