Male head with beard

This male head is part of a votive statue that would have served as a gift to a god or goddess in a sanctuary or shrine. Its style reveals the influence of both Greek and Near Eastern cultures (for instance, the faint smile is characteristic of Greece, while the conical cap and long, angular beard are eastern influences).
