An unfinished portrait head of Domitian worked for insertion into a statue. Traces of the pick are visible at the back of the head; chisel marks are visible in the facial features and hair which have only been summarily carved out. The shape of the mouth and chin are physiognomical traits found in Domitian's third portrait type.
