Stone sculptural head (upper part of a statue) showing a frontal male face with inset-style facial features and remnants of painted or incised magical/inscription bands on the hair.

The image shows the upper portion of an Egyptian statue head, carved in dark stone and presented against a neutral background. The figure has a broad forehead, arched eyebrows, half-closed eyes, a straight nose, and a defined, full mouth. The hair is rendered as a heavy, crisply modeled mass framing the sides of the head and falling toward the brow, with a visible carved band of linear marks and short grouped strokes across the upper hair area that likely correspond to magical or textual elements. No clearly legible cartouche or royal name is visible in the provided view. The stone surface shows weathering and dark mottling; the inscribed/marked area is partly worn, but the presence of incised/engraved signs in the hair region supports the catalogue theme of magical texts.
