DescriptionSmall, beardless male votary sports a laurel wreath consisting of a double row of thin, rounded laurel leaves. Slightly wavy locks are combed forward over the forehead; the hairline, emphasized by a thin incision, forms an angle at the temples. Hair on the crown radiates from a central incised line in S patterns. The ears have molded helices; the concha is deeply hollowed, and the tragus is articulated as a slight bump.On View
