Valladolid, Spain

Masculine head, perhaps, the representation of a divinity or an ancestor. Its high degree of stylisation and ambiguity stand out, so that if, from the front view it offers a rhomboidal form, from the back it presents a flat skull. The face, covered by what appear to be scars, presents globular eyes, a straight nose and a prominent partly open mouth. The piece has a small imperfection in the upper right-hand part.
