Teotihuacan Terracotta Head with Elaborate Headdress

Teotihuacan Terracotta Head with Elaborate Headdress, Mounted for Display – 3rd to 7th Century AD A Teotihuacan terracotta head fragment with a compact face framed by an elaborate, broad headdress. Narrow eyes, a projecting nose and a small mouth remain visible beneath a textured band across the forehead, while rounded elements extend to either side of the head. The reddish-brown ceramic surface retains darker deposits, abrasions and worn details, with irregular edges marking its fragmentary condition. The head is presented on a later circular wooden display mount decorated with leaf motifs; this support is separate from the archaeological object. 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 20 March 1984. Material: Terracotta; later wooden display mount Dimensions: 15.5 cm diameter plate. Weight: 193 g total Provenance: Acquired in Germany from an auction house in 2026.
