A stone head of a statue with prominent ears and a subtle headdress.
The artifact is a carved stone head, possibly representing a deity or a royal figure. The piece is characterized by a prominent set of ears and what appears to be the base of a headdress. The sculpture is highly eroded, with smooth surfaces and a weathered texture, making detailed identification difficult. The style suggests a simplistic approach typical of early cultural periods.
