Small terracotta face/mask-like object depicting a male caricature with exaggerated facial features and hair arrangement.
The image shows a small, rounded terracotta head/face held against a neutral gray background. The figure has a broad, stylized forehead, downturned eyebrows, heavy-lidded eyes with incised contours, and a protruding/curved mouth. A short, centrally arranged hairline or cap is suggested by shallow incisions along the top and sides, with darker pigment traces only faintly visible on the facial features. No clearly legible hieroglyphs, cartouches, or other inscriptions are visible on the photographed surface. No deities or royal names can be securely identified from the image alone, though the style is consistent with Egyptian figurative/character masks.
