From the Getty Museum record
A badly battered head depicting Alexander the Great, possibly as Helios. Eleven holes drilled in the hair encircle the head for the attachment of a crown. The portrait appears based on the Azara type. The hair is short, parted in the center and swept away from the face. The nose, mouth, and chin are broken off. The eyes are narrow with thick upper lids. The eyelids have been recut.
