Teotihuacan Terracotta Head with Broad Headdress – 3rd to 7th Century AD A Teotihuacan terracotta head fragment depicting a frontal face beneath a broad headdress with a raised circular element above the forehead. The arched brows, narrow eyes, projecting nose and softly modelled mouth give the face a composed expression, although the details have been softened by surface wear. The ceramic has warm ochre and brown tones with darker patches and deposits within the recesses. Irregular edges and a broken lower section preserve its condition as a fragment from a larger figure. It is presented on a later square wooden display mount. The piece is accompanied by a copy of the original typewritten document signed by Dr. Dieter Eisleb of the Staatliche Museen Preußischer Kulturbesitz, Berlin from the 20th of March 1984 Material: Terracotta; later wooden display mount Dimensions: 10 x 10 cm total.
