A hollow bronze head and neck of a youth. The head is heavily restored resulting in distortions of the facial features; the lower face has been crushed. The young man has a round, fleshy face and weak chin. The eyes are deep set with incised irises and pupils. The eyebrows and the short hair are rendered with short V-shaped pairs of incised lines. There is a projecting flange around his cranium that disguises the sloping, hollow back of his head.
