Head of an elderly, clean-shaven, bald man with a broad mouth, lips firmly closed, short nose, deep-set eyes and sharply outlined eyebrows. The sculpture is made of dark greenish basalt. The inlaid eyeballs (presumably in a different material) are now missing. The head is badly mutilated as if intentionally damaged. Most of the surface is slightly corroded. Although the sculpture is of Hellenistic (Ptolemaic) date it has an Egyptian character rather than Greek and probably respresents an Egyptian. Bald heads are commonly taken to represent priests.
