HEAD - Human head in metal alloy, with a dark patina and polished nuances from handling, naturalistic volumes, and a restrained expression. The surface features multiple regular perforations on the scalp, around the mouth, and on the cheeks, as well as a cylindrical neck marked by incised rings and a frontal orifice. Almond-shaped eyes, firm nose, and well-defined lips emphasize precise modeling, with localized wear revealing the metal. It presents characteristics that may refer to West African productions, approaching commemorative typologies associated with ancient Benin.
