Label TextThis fragment of a male figure lacks any divine insignia, so it may be assumed that it represents a person of high rank. It has in a more clearly articulated form, many of the characteristics seen in the Cambodian Head of Shiva or a King (1923.1): the double outline lips and eyes, the strong projecting arch of the eyebrow and the smooth broad facial planes.On View
