Mycenaean female plaster head 1250 BCE

"Head of a female (presumed from the white color of the skin), perhaps from a statue of a sphinx or Goddess. A second, smaller plaster head also found at Mycenae has a vertical hole under the neck, suggesting it was attached to a body. The bodies may have been made of wood. The facial features are boldly delineated with paint as well as modeled. The eyes are large and emphatically slanted with pronounced tear ducts. The rosettes imitate tattooing or painted facial decoration. A headband surrounds the forehead. 

Eyes, eyebrows and hair painted black, red for lips and rosettes on cheeks and chin. The treatment of the ears has been compared with that of a Goddess in the frescoes from Pylos."
