Polis Chrysochous · Cyprus · Twenty Years of Excavation
Head of a terracotta figurine representing a woman with almond-shaped eyes.
Her hair is decorated along a front roll with incised circles, and she wears
circular earrings. Although the head is tiny (10 cm high), it has an extraordinary
sense of monumentality. The style is under strong Greek influence near the end
of the sixth century B.C.
From rescue excavation near the church of Agios Andronicos.
Cypro-Archaic II (Sixth century B.C.)
